Sol:

The  dice  is  thrown  three  times∴  Sample  space  n(S)=(6)3=216Let  E1  be  the  event  when  the  sum  of  numbers  on  the  dice  was  six  and  E2  be  the  event  whenthree  two's  occur.⇒E1={(1,1,4),(1,2,3),(1,3,2),(1,4,1),(2,1,3),(2,2,2),(2,3,1),(3,1,2),(3,2,1),(4,1,1)}⇒n(E1)=10  and  n(E2)=1        [?E2={2,2,2}]∴  P(E2/E1)=P(E1∩E2)P(E1)=1/21610/216=110.
