A die is thrown three times. Find P (A/B) and P (B/A), if
A = 4 appears on the third toss, B = 6 and 5 appear respectively on first two tosses.
उत्तर
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)}
\[\text{ Now} , \]
\[A \cap B = \left\{ \left( 6, 5, 4 \right) \right\}\]
\[ \therefore \text{ Required probability } = P\left( A/B \right) = \frac{n\left( A \cap B \right)}{n\left( B \right)} = \frac{1}{6}\]
\[ \therefore \text{ Required probability } = P\left( B/A \right) = \frac{n\left( A \cap B \right)}{n\left( A \right)} = \frac{1}{36}\]
