Let k denote the sum of two numbers.
Then

P(k=3) = 1/21 , P(k=4) = 1/21, P(k=5) = 2/21

P(k=6) = 2/21, P(k=7) = 3/21, P(k=8) = 2/21
P(k=9) = 2/21, P(k=10) =1/21, P(k=11) = 1/21

Solution 2:

P( A)  0.1  0.2  0.1  0.4

P( Ac )  1  0.4  0.6

Solution 3:

Let A and B be the events that the student chosen is girl and a student having blue
eyes respectively. so

P(A)=1/3
P(B)=1/2
P ( A  B)  1/ 6
P( A  B )  P ( A)  P ( B )  P ( A  B )
So
P( A  B)  2 / 3

Solution 4:

n(S)=36

(i) Probability that 5 appear on first die =3/36

(ii) Probability that 5 appear on at least one die= 5/36
Solution 5:

Then, A = {(1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6) ,(3, 2) (4, 2), (5, 2), ,(6, 2)}
B= {(2, 6),(4,4), (6, 2)}
AÇB = {(2, 6), (6, 2)}
P(B) = 3/36 and P(AÇB) = 2/36.
Hence, P(Probability that one of the dice is 2, given that the sum is 8)
= P(A|B)

P ( A  B ) 2 / 36 2
