Question

.....50 Points ....

A man is known to speak the truth 3 out of 4 times . He throwns a die and reports that it is number greater than 6. Find the probability that it is actually a number greater than 6.

Answer 1

his question is difficult that the statement is incomplete. It is important in determining the answer to know what the possible things that the person can say. For instance, if the person always says either “six” or “not six ”, then the answer is 3/8.

Answer 2

Probability = 0

Since a die has only 6 faces. Thus the man has told a lie.
