Question 15

Alberto and Barbara play with a dice. After a while they realize that the die is rigged, and that the number $1$ comes up more frequently than the other numbers $5$ (which instead remain equally probable). They then decide that when $1$ comes out, that roll is canceled and they roll again. If you continue to roll the dice until you get $2$ valid rolls, what is the probability that the sum of the $2$ valid numbers rolled is $8$?


(A) $\frac{3}{25}$

(B) $\frac{1}{6}$

(C) $\frac{1}{5}$

(D) $\frac{6}{25}$

(E) $\frac{1}{4}$.
