A dice is thrown two times and the sum of the scores appearing on the die is observed to be a multiple of 4. Then the conditional probability that the score 4 has appeared atleast once is :

  1. A ${1 \over 8}$
  2. B ${1 \over 9}$ Correct answer
  3. C ${1 \over 4}$
  4. D ${1 \over 3}$

Solution

Let A is the event for getting score a multiple of 4. <br><br>So, A = { (1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2), (2, 6), (6, 2), (3, 5), (5, 3), (4, 4), (6, 6) } = 09 <br><br>n(A) = 9 <br><br>B : Score of 4 has appeared at least once. <br><br>B = {(4, 4)} <br><br>So, Required probability = ${1 \over 9}$
