2. Two dice are rolled. Find the probabilities of the following, as reduced fractions, and justify. Use the formula sheet if needed for help.

a. Both dice are ≥4, given that the sum is ≥9. 

**Basic Probability Principle**

\[ P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)} \]

**Conditional Probability**

\[ P(E|F) = \frac{n(E \cap F)}{n(F)} = \frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(F)} \]

**Union Rule**

- For sets: \( n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) \)
- For probability: \( P(E \cup F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E \cap F) \)

**Number of Subsets**

- If a set has \( n \) elements, then it has \( 2^n \) subsets.

**Product Rule**

\[ P(E \cap F) = P(E) \cdot P(F|E) = P(F) \cdot P(E|F) \]

**Odds**

\[ \text{Odds in favor of } E = \frac{P(E)}{P(E')} \]

If odds in favor of \( E \) are \( m : n \), then

\[ P(E) = \frac{m}{m+n} \]

**Complement Rule (Probability)**

\[ P(E') = 1 - P(E) \]

\[ P(E) = 1 - P(E') \]

**Complement Rule (Number of Outcomes)**

\[ n(E) = n(S) - n(E') \]

\[ n(E') = n(S) - n(E) \]

**Bayes' Theorem**

\[ P(F|E) = \frac{P(E|F)P(F)}{P(E)} \]

Special Case:

\[ P(F|E) = \frac{P(F)P(E|F)}{P(E|F)P(F) + P(E|F')P(F')} \]

**Independent Events**

\[ P(E|F) = P(E) \]

\[ P(F|E) = P(F) \]

\[ P(E \cap F) = P(E) \cdot P(F) \]

**Permutations**

\[ P(n, k) = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!} \]

**Combinations**

\[ C(n, k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} \]

**Distinguishable Permutations**

\[ \frac{n!}{n
