Question 1186893: Two dice are rolled one after the other. Construct a sample space and determine the probability that the sum of the dots on the dice total 7 if the first die is a 4. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is a 36 member sample space with a 6 x 6 matrix.
if the first die is 4, the second die has to be 3 to make 7, and that is a 1/6 probability since independent rolls.
