Two dice are thrown.

Total outcomes =6^2=36

Let A be the event ‘the sum of numbers on the dice is 4.

A=\left \{ (13),\left ( 22 \right ),(31) \right \}

Let B be  the event that two numbers appearing on throwing two dice are different.

B=\left \{ (12),(13),(14),(15),(16),(21)\left ( 23 \right ),(24),(25),(26,)(31),(32),(34),(35),(36),(41),(42),(43),(45),(46),(51),(52),(53),(54),(56) ,(61),(62),(63),(64),(65)\right \}n(B)=30

P(B)=\frac{30}{36}

A\cap B=\left \{ (13),(31) \right \}

n(A\cap B)=2

P(A\cap B)=\frac{2}{36}

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

P(A| B)=\frac{\frac{2}{36}}{\frac{30}{36}}

P(A| B)=\frac{2}{30}=\frac{1}{15}

Therefore, the required probability is 1/15
