To solve the problem step by step, we will determine the probability of getting a sum of 7 when a pair of dice is thrown, given that the second die shows a prime number. ### Step 1: Identify the sample space When rolling two dice, the first die can show any number from 1 to 6 (let's denote it as \( x \)), and the second die can show a prime number. The prime numbers between 1 and 6 are 2, 3, and 5. Therefore, the possible outcomes for the second die (let's denote it as \( y \)) are: - \( y = 2 \) - \( y = 3 \) - \( y = 5 \) ...
