The black and red die are rolled. The conditional probability of obtaining a sum greater than 9 given that the black die resulted in a 5 is : |
$\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{1}{6}$ $\frac{1}{18}$ $\frac{1}{9}$ |
$\frac{1}{3}$ |
The correct answer is option (1) → $\frac{1}{3}$ Given that black die already comes up with 5 we have 6 possibilities for red die only for 5, 6 on red die, the combined sum = 9 so probability = $\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$ |
