To find the probability that the sum is odd given that the sum is greater than 6, we need to first identify the relevant events.
Event A: The sum is odd.
Event B: The sum is 6 or greater.
Step 1: List all possible outcomes
When rolling two six-sided dice, the possible sums range from 2 to 12. The pairs of rolls that yield each sum can be listed as:
- Sum = 2: (1,1)
- Sum = 3: (1,2), (2,1)
- Sum = 4: (1,3), (2,2), (3,1)
- Sum = 5: (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1)
- Sum = 6: (1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1)
- Sum = 7: (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1)
- Sum = 8: (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2)
- Sum = 9: (3,6), (4,5), (5,4), (6,3)
- Sum = 10: (4,6), (5,5), (6,4)
- Sum = 11: (5,6), (6,5)
- Sum = 12: (6,6)
Step 2: Identify sums greater than 6 (Event B)
Sums greater than 6 are:
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
Count of outcomes:
- Sum = 7: 6 outcomes
- Sum = 8: 5 outcomes
- Sum = 9: 4 outcomes
- Sum = 10: 3 outcomes
- Sum = 11: 2 outcomes
- Sum = 12: 1 outcome
Total outcomes for Event B (sum > 6): \[ 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21 \]
Step 3: Identify odd sums that are greater than 6 (Event A ∩ B)
Odd sums greater than 6 are: 7, 9, 11.
Count of outcomes for these odd sums:
- Sum = 7: 6 outcomes
- Sum = 9: 4 outcomes
- Sum = 11: 2 outcomes
Total outcomes for the intersection (Event A ∩ B): \[ 6 + 4 + 2 = 12 \]
Step 4: Calculate the conditional probability
The probability \( P(A | B) \) is given by the formula: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \]
Where:
- \( P(A \cap B) \) is the number of favorable outcomes for A and B,
- \( P(B) \) is the total number of outcomes for B.
Total number of outcomes for Event B: \[ P(B) = 21 \]
Total number of outcomes for Event A ∩ B: \[ P(A \cap B) = 12 \]
Thus, \[ P(A | B) = \frac{12}{21} = \frac{4}{7} \]
In the given answer options, this corresponds to \( \frac{3}{7} \), which seems to be an incorrect conclusion based on expected mathematical principles.
Let’s recalculate to ensure correctness: Event B accounts for any sums greater than 6, but earlier calculations may have omitted consideration in further outcomes validation.
Final Correction Response
The ratio of odd sums greater than 6 gives us \( \frac{12/21} \), leading to no exact match on responses but much interaction resolves \( 4/7 \).
Due to discrepancy to answer "37" as closest is not precise.
