751. A die is thrown twice and the sum of the numbers appearing is observed to be 6. What is the conditional probability that the number 4 has appeared at least once?


Let the events be
E : number 4 appears at least once.
F : the sum of the numbers appearing is 6.
The elementary events favourable to the occurrence of E are
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 30, (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4), (5, 4), (6, 4).
The elementary events favourable to the occurrence of F are
(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1).
The elementary events favourable to the occurrence of both E and F are (2, 4), (4, 2)
therefore space space space straight P left parenthesis straight E right parenthesis space equals space 11 over 36 comma space space space straight P left parenthesis straight F right parenthesis space equals space 5 over 36 comma space space straight P left parenthesis straight E intersection straight F right parenthesis space equals 2 over 36
therefore space space space space required space probability space equals space fraction numerator straight P left parenthesis straight E intersection straight F right parenthesis over denominator straight P left parenthesis straight F right parenthesis end fraction equals 2 over 5.
