If E₁ denotes the events of coming sum 6 in throwing two dice and E₂ be the event of coming 2 in any one of the two, then P (E₂ / E ₁ . ) is
Options
- A1 / 5
- B4 / 5
- C3 / 5
- D2 / 5
Correct answer
D. 2 / 5
Step-by-step solution
E₁ can occur as (1,5),(5,1,),(2,4),(4,2), , (3,3) array l E₂ -as (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6), (6,2),(5,2),(4,2),(3,2),(1,2) array P (E₂ / E₁ )= Probability of E₂ when E₁ has occured =2 / 5
