1.1.1 Conditional Probability: GO Classes 2024 | Weekly Quiz 8 | Conditional Probability | Question: 10top☝
I have two six-sided dice. The first die has faces painted red and the other painted black. The second has
red face and black faces. When I roll a die, each of the six faces are equally likely. I choose a die at random
(both dice being equally likely), and roll it twice (rolling the same die both times).
What is the conditional probability that I chose the die with red faces, given that the first roll came up ?
