You roll two dice. Let event A be "The first die shows a 2, a 3, or a 5" and event B be "The second die shows an odd number." What is P (A/B) ?

Write fractions using the slash (/) key. Reduce fractions to their lowest terms.

(The / is supposed to be the straight line but I didn't know how to put it on here.)

Elise Wilcox · Answer 1

P (A) = 3/6 (3 out of all possible outcomes) = 1/3

P (B) = 3/6 = 1/3 again since possible odd numbers are 3 (1,3,5)

P (A/B) is basically 1/3 / 1/3

which is (3/3 = ) 1

Haven't worked with possibilities in ages so I'm not sure for the P (A/B) part! Sorry!
