<PRE><B>Question 881755</B>
You are playing a game with 2 dice. You roll the two dice and get a total of six. What is the probability that you will roll a total of 6 on your next roll. This is asking you to factor the probability of the first and second rolls together. Please show all steps and work.
-----
The events are independent::
# of ways to have a sum of 6:: 1/5 ; 2;4 ; 3;3 ; 4;2 ; 5;1
-----------------
P(sum = 6) = 5/36
