Question
A die is thrown three times. Find $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)$ and $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)$, if
A = 4 appears on the third toss,
B = 6 and 5 appear respectively on first two tosses.
✓

Answer

Consider the given events.
A = Getting 4 on third throw
B = Getting 6 on first throw and and 5 on second throw
Clearly,
A = {(1, 1, 4), (1, 2, 4), (1, 3, 4), (1, 4, 4), (1, 5, 4), (1, 6, 4), (2, 1, 4), (2, 2, 4), (2, 3, 4), (2, 4, 4), (2, 5, 4), (2, 6, 4), ...... (6, 1, 4), (6, 2 4), (6, 3, 4), (6, 4, 4), (6, 5, 4), (6, 6, 4)}
B = {(6, 5, 1), (6, 5, 2), (6, 5, 3), (6, 5, 4), (6, 5, 5), (6, 5, 6)}
Now,
$(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\{(6, 5, 4)\}$
$\therefore\ \text{Required probability} = \text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{\text{n}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{n}(\text{B})}=\frac{1}{6}$
$\therefore\ \text{Required probability} = \text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)=\frac{\text{n}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{n}(\text{A})}=\frac{1}{36}$
