Consider a random experiment in which a coin is tossed and if the coin shows head it is tossed again but if  it shows a tail then a die is tossed. If 8 possible outcomes are equally likely. Find the probability that the die shows a number greater than 4 if it is known that the first throw of the coin results in a tail.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the random experiment step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Experiment - A coin is tossed first. It can either show Heads (H) or Tails (T). - If the coin shows Heads (H), it is tossed again. - If the coin shows Tails (T), a die is tossed. ### Step 2: Identify Possible Outcomes ...
