Consider the experiment of tossing a coin. If the coin shows head, toss it again but if it shows tail, then throw a die. Find the conditional probability of the event that the die shows a number greater than 4' given that there is at least one tail.

Let omega be a complex cube a root of unity with omega != 1 . A fair die is thrown three times . If r_(1),r_(2) and r_(3) are the numbers obtained on the die , then the probability that omega^(r_(1))+omega^(r_(2))+omega^(r_(3))= 0 is :

Box 1 contains three cards bearing numbers 1, 2, 3; box 2 contains five cards bearing numbers 1, 2, 3,4, 5; and box 3 contains seven cards bearing numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. A card is drawn from each of the boxes. Let x_i be the number on the card drawn from the ith box, i = 1, 2, 3. The probability that x_1+x_2+x_3 is odd is
