Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\dfrac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The sample space for tossing an unbiased die twice consists of \(6 \times 6 = 36\) equally likely outcomes. Let \(A\) be the event of getting a 4, 5, or 6 on the first toss. The number of favorable outcomes for the first toss is 3, so \(P(A) = \dfrac{3}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}\). Let…
