7 marks

A fair four-sided die with faces numbered \(1\) to \(4\) and a fair six-sided die with faces numbered \(1\) to \(6\) are rolled together. The total of the two scores is \(T\).

  1. Find the probability that \(T\) is greater than \(6\).[2]
  2. Find the probability that at least one of the dice shows a \(4\).[2]
  3. Given that \(T\) is greater than \(6\), find the probability that at least one of the dice shows a \(4\).[3]
