Question

A pair of dice are rolled and the sum on their upturned faces is recorded. What is the probability that the sum showing is 8, given that one die is showing a 5?
Answer: 1/6.
Did I come up with the right answer?
Thanks.

Answer 1

It looks right to me. You already know one die is 5, so you are just seeking the probability of the other die showing a 3.
