8865 Specimen Paper Q7
A game is played with a fair 6-sided die. A player throws this die, and if the result is 
2,3,4 or 5 that result is the player's score. If the result of the player's throw is 1 or 6 , the player throws second time and the score is the sum of the two numbers from the two throws. Events 
A and are defined as follows:


5:123456789

A:quad the player's score is 
5,6,7,8 or 9 ,

B:quad the player has two throws.
(i) Draw a tree diagram to represent this situation, showing all possible outcomes.

[2]
(ii) Show that 
P(A)=(1)/(3).
(iii) Find the probability that a player gets a score of 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 in two throws.
(iv) Describe what is meant by the probability 
P(A∣B) in this context and find its value. [3

  1. Tree Diagram Branches: (i) For the tree diagram, we have two initial branches: rolling a 11 or 66, and rolling a 22, 33, 44, or 55. If a 11 or 66 is rolled, there's a second throw with six possible outcomes each. If a 22, 33, 44, or 55 is rolled, the game ends with that score.
  2. Calculation of P(A): (ii) To calculate P(A)P(A), we consider the scores 5,6,7,8,5, 6, 7, 8, or 99. Rolling a 2,3,4,2, 3, 4, or 55 on the first throw gives a score within AA. The probability of rolling any of these four numbers on a fair die is 46\frac{4}{6} or 23\frac{2}{3}. There are no other ways to get a score within AA on the first throw, so P(A)=23P(A) = \frac{2}{3}, not 5,6,7,8,5, 6, 7, 8,00 as stated in the question.
