Chandler · Answer 1

There are 6 combinations with the second die having a 4 where the total of the dots is more than 3. The sample space has 36 outcomes. Six of these outcomes fit the requirement in the question. The probability of success is the total number of outcomes that fit the requirement in the question (6 outcomes) divided by the sample space (36 outcomes).
