<PRE><B>Question 68850</B>
You roll two dice.  What is the probability the sum of the first is 5 and the sum on the second roll is 8?
---------
The roll results are independent because you are reusing the same pair
of dice.
To get a 5: 1,4;2,3;3,2;4,1
P(sum = 5) = 4/36=1/9
To get an 8: 2,6;3,5;4,4;5,3;6,2
P(sum=8)=5/36
------------
P(sum is 5 and sum is 8)= 1/9*5/36 = 5/324
--------
