Answer to Problem 51E

If the red die came up 3, the probability that the sum of the dice is 7 is 16 and the probability is same as it was before the red die was observed.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

One red die and one blue die are rolled. The outcome of each die is a number between 1 and 6. The ordered pairs of the outcomes are of the form (Red die, Blue die).

Calculation:

If the red die comes up in 3, then blue die may comes up with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

Hence the sample space is,

  {(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6)} .

Let A be the event that the sum of the dice is 7, if the red die came up 3.

  A={(3,4)}

Hence the probability that the sum of the dice is 7, if the red die came up 3 is,

  P(A)=NumberofoutcomesinANumberofoutcomesinthesamplespace=16

Now the original sample space of the given experiment before the red die was observed is,

  {(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}

Let B be the event that the sum of the dice is 7.

  B={(1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)}

So, the number of outcomes in the event B is 6.

Hence, the probability that the sum of the dice is 7 is,

  P(B)=NumberofoutcomesinBNumberofoutcomesinthesamplespace=636=16

Hence, if the red die came up 3, the probability that the sum of the dice is 7 is 16 and the probability is same as it was before the red die was observed.
