Problem

Mark rolled two standard dice. Given that he rolled two distinct values, find the probability that he rolled two primes.

$\textbf{(A)}\ \frac{1}{12}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{1}{7}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{1}{6}\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{1}{2}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{2}{5}$

Solution

Each die has $3$ prime numbers: $2, 3, 5$. Since the numbers rolled on each die must be distinct, the answer is $\frac{3}{6} \cdot \frac{2}{6} = \boxed{\text{(C)} \frac{1}{6}}$.
