    This document provides an example to explain calculating conditional probability. It uses the example of throwing a pair of dice to find the probability of getting a 4 on both dice given that a 4 appeared on at least one die. The sample space is represented as a grid with 36 squares. There is 1 outcome where both dice show 4 and 11 outcomes where at least one die shows a 4. The conditional probability is calculated as the probability of the intersection (getting a 4 on both dice given a 4 on one die) over the probability of the original event (getting a 4 on at least one die), which equals 1/11. This activity helps understand conditional probability, which is used in Bayes' theorem.

    CLASS: XII
    ACTIVITY - 5

    Objective:
    To explain the computation of conditional probability of a given event A, when event B has
    already occurred, through an example of throwing a pair of dice.

    Procedure:
    Make a square and divide it into 36 units squares of size 1cm.. Write pair of numbers as
    shown.

    DEMONSTRATION
    1. Figure gives all possible outcomes of the given experiment. Hence, it represents the
    sample space of the experiment.
    2. Suppose we have to find the conditional probability of an event A if an event B has already
    occurred, where A is the event “a number 4 appears on both the dice” and B is the event
    "4 has appeared on at least one of the dice” i.e, we have to find P ( A|B ).
    3. From Figure number of outcomes favourable to A = 1
    Number of outcomes favourable to B = 11
    Number of outcomes favourable to A ∩ B = 1.
    11
    4. (i) P(B)=
    36

    1
    (ii) P( A ∩ B ¿=
    36

    P ( A ∩ B) 1
    (iii) P ( A|B )= =
    P (B ) 11

    OBSERVATION:
    1. Outcome(s) favourable to A: ______________, n (A) =
    2. Outcomes favourable to B:_______________ , n (B) = _
    3. Outcome(s) favourable to A∩ B:____________, n (A∩ B) = _____________
    4. P( A ∩ B ¿=¿ ¿
    5. P ( A|B ) = ________= ________.

    APPLICATION
    This activity is helpful in understanding the concept of conditional probability, which is further
    used in Bayes’ theorem.
