A pair of fair dice is cast. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers falling uppermost is less than 4, if it is known that one of the numbers is a 2

Respuesta :

The probability that the sum of the numbers falling uppermost is less than 4 will be 1/18.

What is probability?

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

A pair of fair dice is cast.

Then the total number of the event will be

Total event = 6 × 6

Total event = 36

If it is known that one of the numbers is a 2.

Then the probability that the sum of the numbers falling uppermost is less than 4 will be

Favorable event =  {(2, 1), (1, 2)}

Then the probability will be

P = 2 / 36

P = 1/18
