Question
Given that the two numbers appearing on throwing two dice are different. Find the probability of the event 'the sum of numbers on the dice is 4'.
✓

Answer

A = Two numbers on two dice are different
= {(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5)}
B = Sum of numbers on the dice is 4
B = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1)}
$\text{A}\cap\text{B}=\{(1,3),(3,1)\}$
Required probability $=\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)$
$=\frac{\text{n}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{n}(\text{A})}$
$=\frac{2}{30}$
Required probability $=\frac{1}{15}$

The management committee of a residential colony decided to award some of its members (say x) for honesty, some (say y) for helping others and some others (say z) for supervising the workers to keep the colony neat and clean. The sum of all the awardees is 12. Three times the sum of awardees for cooperation and supervision added to two times the number of awardees for honesty is 33. If the sum of the number of awardees for honesty and supervision is twice the number of awardees for helping others, using matrix method, find the number of awardees of each category. Apart from these values, namely, honesty, cooperation and supervision, suggest one more value which the management of the colony must include for awards.
