Question 1126784: Suppose that two fair dice are tossed. What is the probability that the sum equals 10 given that it exceeds 8?

Exceeds 8 means 9,10,11,12
There is a 1/36 probability of 12, 2/36 probability of 11, 3/36 probability of 10, and 4/36 probability of 9
The probability exceeding 8 is the sum of 10/36.
Given that, the probability of 10 is 3/36 divided by 10/36 or 3/10.
