To find the probability that an even number of tosses is needed until a number greater than 4 appears when rolling an unbiased die, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Success and Failure Outcomes When rolling a die, the outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. We define success as rolling a number greater than 4, which includes the outcomes 5 and 6. Therefore: - **Success (S)**: {5, 6} → 2 favorable outcomes - **Failure (F)**: {1, 2, 3, 4} → 4 favorable outcomes ### Step 2: Calculate the Probabilities ...
