Question

Two dice are rolled one after the other. Construct a sample space and find the probability that the sum of the fots on the dice total is a number greater than 8 if the second die is a 2.

Answer 1

P(total greater than 8 | second die is 2)=?

Answer 2

One number is definitely a 2, so we just need a number that is greater than 8-2 = 6

But...such a number on a die doesn't exist. So the probability is 0.

Answer 3

So, 0?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

how did you find that out?

Answer 6

Can you roll a 7 on a die?

Answer 7

a single die

Answer 8

nope

Answer 9

so you can't roll a number over 8 given that the second die is 2
