Let E1 be the event that the outcome on the die is 1 or 2 and E2 be the event that the outcome on the die is 3, 4, 5 or 6. Then,
Let A be the event of getting exactly one 'tail'.
P(A|E1) = Probability of getting exactly one tail by tossing the coin three times if she gets 1 or 2 =
P(A|E2) = Probability of getting exactly one tail in a single throw of a coin if she gets 3, 4, 5 or 5 =
As, the probability that the girl threw 3, 4, 5 or 6 with the die, if she obtained exactly one tail, is given by P(E2|A).
So, by using Baye's theorem, we get
So, the probability that she threw 3, 4, 5 or 6 with the die if she obtained exactly one tail is .
