Question
Given that the two numbers appearing on throwing two dice are different. Find the probability of the event 'the sum of numbers on the dice is 4'.
✓

Answer

A = Two numbers on two dice are different
= {(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5)}
B = Sum of numbers on the dice is 4
B = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1)}
$\text{A}\cap\text{B}=\{(1,3),(3,1)\}$
Required probability $=\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)$
$=\frac{\text{n}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{n}(\text{A})}$
$=\frac{2}{30}$
Required probability $=\frac{1}{15}$
