उत्तर
When two dice are thrown simultaneously, the sample space is
S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(S) = 36
Let A be the event that sum of the numbers is an even number.
∴ A = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (1, 5) (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 3), (3, 5), (4, 2), (4, 4), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 3), (5, 5), (6, 2), (6, 4), (6, 6)}
∴ n(A) = 18
∴ P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S")) = 18/36`
Let B be the event that sum of outcomes is a perfect square
B = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1), (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 3)}
∴ n(B) = 7
∴ P(B) = `("n"("B"))/("n"("S")) = 7/36`
∴ A ∩ B is the event that the sum of the numbers is an even perfect square.
∴ A ∩ B = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1)}
∴ n(A ∩ B) = 3
∴ P(A ∩ B) = `("n"("A" ∩ "B"))/("n"("S")) = 3/36`
Now, Probability that the sum of the numbers is a Perfect square given that it is even is given by,
`"P"("B"/"A") = ("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("A")`
= `(3/36)/(18/36)`
= `3/18`
= `1/6`

Three friends go to a restaurant to have pizza. They decide who will pay for the pizza by tossing a coin. It is decided that each one of them will toss a coin and if one person gets a different result (heads or tails) than the other two, that person would pay. If all three get the same result (all heads or all tails), they will toss again until they get a different result.
- What is the probability that all three friends will get the same result (all heads or all tails) in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?
