Question

An experiment is rolling two dice. What notation do we use for finding the probability that the sum is 6 given that the first die is a 5?

  • P(1st is 5 | sum is 6)
  • P(1st is 5 and sum is 6)
  • P(sum is 6) and P(1st is 5)
  • P(sum is 6 | 1st is 5)
  • P(the sum is 6 given that the first die is a 5)
  • P(the sum is 6 and the first die is a 5)



Which event is used to find the restricted space?

  • the 1st die is a 5
  • sum of 6 and 1st is 5
  • sum of 6 given 1st is 5
  • the sum is 6



Which event is used to find the event space?

  • the 1st die is a 5
  • the sum is 6
  • sum of 6 given 1st is 5
  • sum of 6 and 1st is 5



What is the probability that the sum is 6 given that the first die is a 5?  (Give answer as a decimal correct to three decimal places.)
