Consider the experiment of throwing a die, if a multiple of 3 comes up, throw the die again and if any other number comes, toss a coin.

Total outcomes =\left \{ (1H),(1T),(2H),(2T),(31),(32),(33),(34),(35),(36),(4H),(4T),(5H),(5T),(61),(62),(63),(64),(65),(66)\right \}

Total number of outcomes =20

Let A be a event when coin shows a tail.

A=\left \{ ((1T),(2T),(4T),(5T)\right \}

Let B be a event that ‘at least one die shows a 3’.

B=\left \{ (31),(32),(33),(34),(35),(36),(63)\right \}

n(B)=7

P(B)=\frac{7}{20}

A\cap B= \phi

n(A\cap B)= 0

P(A\cap B)= \frac{0}{20}=0

P(A| B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

P(A| B)=\frac{0}{\frac{7}{20}}

P(A| B)=0
