A pair of fair dice is rolled. Let E denote the event that the number falling uppermost on the first die is 4, and let F denote the event that the sum of the numbers falling uppermost is 6. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) Compute P(F). (b) Compute P(E ∩ F). (c) Compute P(F | E). (d) Compute P(E).

Step 1
Since there are 36 possible outcomes when rolling a pair of fair dice, we can calculate \(P(F)\) as follows: \[ P(F) = \frac{5}{36} \] Show more…

A pair of fair dice is rolled. Let E denote the event that a 3 is rolled on the first die. Let F denote the event that the sum of the numbers on the dice is a 4. Are E and F independent events? (Show computations.)

Roll two fair dice. Each die has six faces. A. Let A be the event that either a 4 or 5 is rolled first followed by an even number. P(A) = Round your answer to two decimal places. B. Let B be the event that the sum of the two dice is at most 5. P(B) = Round your answer to two decimal places. C. Are A and B mutually exclusive events? D. Are A and B independent events?
