Answer: 15/28
Suppose the following:
event A: the event that there were 3 sixes in the 8 roles,
event B: the event that there were 2 sixes in the first 5 roles.
Then the conditional probability to find is P(B|A)=P(A∩B)/P(A).
P(A)=C(3,8)*(1/6)^3*(5/6)^5,
P(A∩B)=C(2,5)*(1/6)^2*(5/6)^3*C(1,3)*(1/6)*(1/6)^2
∴P(B|A)=15/28
