You roll 2 dice. What is the probability that you roll a total of 3 or 5 on the 2nd dice?

Question

It doesn't matter what you rolled on the first one, evidently.
So it's just the chances of getting a 3 or a 5. There are 6 possible outcomes so that is 2/6.

It has 6 sides. 2 of the 6 sides are either 3 or 5.
Probability = Number of ways an event can occur / total number of possible outcomes

Would it be 2/12 since they're 2 dice?

anonymous · Answer

No. It doesn't matter what you rolled on the first die (and it doesn't work like that anyway); the question is asking only about the second die so what you rolled on the first doesn't matter.

Does getting a 3 on the second roll in any way depend on what happened on the 1st?
