A and B throw with 3 dice. if A   throws a sum of 16 points, the   probability of B throwing   a higher sum is   pls solve

P(B, >sum)= (4/(216_6^3  ))= (1/(54))    ; (6, 6, 6) , (6, 6, 5)_(has 3 cases)

$${P}\left({B},\:>{sum}\right)=\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{216}_{\mathrm{6}^{\mathrm{3}} } }=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{54}}\: \\ $$$$\:;\:\left(\mathrm{6},\:\mathrm{6},\:\mathrm{6}\right)\:,\:\left(\mathrm{6},\:\mathrm{6},\:\mathrm{5}\right)_{{has}\:\mathrm{3}\:{cases}} \\ $$

You′re welcome!    B′s dice roll is independent of A′s one, so it′s not   a conditional probability, if you got (6,6,1) it′s   likely that i get the same result. Your throw   doesn′t affect mine.    Sample space   • for one dice has 6 results  • for two dices 6×6 res.   {(1, 1), (1,2)...(1, 6)     (2, 1), ...........(2, 6)     .     .   (6, 1)............(6, 6)  • for 3 dices: 6×6×6 res.

thank you   i have a doubt that what is sample  space? is it a conditonal probability?
