1. Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability the first die came up a 2 and the second die came up a 5.
    1/18
    1/9
    1/12
    1/36


2. Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability that one die came up a 2 and the other came up a 6.
    1/9
    1/36
    1/18
    1/12


3. Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability that at least one die is a 3.
    1/2
    11/36
    1/6
    1/3


4. Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability that the sum is 8.
    5/36
    1/6
    1/3
    5/18


5. Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability that the sum is 8 given that the first die was 3.
    1/6
    5/18
    1/5
    1/12


6. Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability that the first die came up 3 given that the dice sum to 8.
    1/6
    1/5
    1/12
    5/18


7. Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability that their sum is not 7.
    23/36
    3/4
    5/6
    2/3


8. Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability that their sum is not 8, given that their sum is not 7.
    23/36
    3/4
    5/6
    2/3


9. Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability that the first die is not a 5, given that the second die is not a 2.
    29/36
    2/3
    5/6
    25/36


10. Two six-sided dice are rolled. But this time, the dice aren't fair: For each die, a 1 is twice as likely to be rolled as a 2, a 2 is twice as likely to be rolled as a 3, ..., and a 5 is twice as likely to be rolled as a 6 (in other words, each number is twice as likely as the number that follows it). So what is the probability of rolling a sum of 7?
