Question 1027522: Two dice are rolled on top of a table one die falls under the table,the one at the top of table is showing 3 .Find the probability that the sum is 8 Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The die that rolled under the table had to be a 5 so that the sum would be an 8. Since the outcome of that die is independent of the other die, the probability that the sum is 8 is 1/6.
