Let below are the two given events, `A = `A prime number appears on second die. There are `3` numbers `(2,4,6)` that are prime between `1` and `6`. So, second die can contain any of these three numnbers. First die can have any of he `6` numbers. `:. n(A) = 6*3 = 18` Let `B = `Event that sum of both dice is `7`. Then, `B = {(2,5),(1,6),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)}` `:. n(B) = 6` Now, `(AnnB) = {(2,5),(5,2),(4,3)}` `=>n(AnnB) = 3` `:.` Required probability , `P(B/A) = (n(AnnB) )/(n(A)) = 3/18 = 1/6`
