If I role two dice, their sum is most likely 7. So if I role a 2 with one die, is the next roll most likely to be a 5?

Question

Seems weird any way I think about it. Thanks!

No. The reason why 7 is most likely is becsuse no matter what you roll with dice one your second roll still can add up to 7. Which is not the case for other numbers: if you want to roll six, your first roll can only be 1-5 etc..
