To solve the problem, we need to find the conditional probability of the event that the coin shows a tail, given that at least one die shows a 3. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Define the Sample Space When we throw a die, the possible outcomes are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. If we roll a multiple of 3 (which are 3 and 6), we throw the die again. If we roll any other number (1, 2, 4, 5), we toss a coin. - If we roll a 3, the outcomes of the second die are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. - If we roll a 6, the outcomes of the second die are also {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. - If we roll 1, 2, 4, or 5, we toss a coin which can show either Head (H) or Tail (T). ...
