Here, A=Event that 4 appears on first die. A={(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6)}. ∴n(A)=6 Let B=Event that sum of the dice is 8 or more. Then, B={(3,6),(6,3),(2,6),(6,2),(5,3),(3,5),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6)} Now, (A∩B)={(4,4),(4,5),(4,6)} ⇒n(A∩B)=3 ∴ Required probability , P( B A )= n(A∩B) n(A) = 3 6 = 1 2
