You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are 6 numbers on the die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Three of these numbers are odd: 1, 3, 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is given that the die has rolled on an odd number. So we don't even need to bother with the even numbers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(5|odd) = (# of 5s)/(# of odds) = 1/3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The final answer is 1/3\r
