probabilities and statistics: red die, blue die are tossed

[dedwards]

a red die and a blue die are tossed. What is the probability that the red die shows a 3 and the blue die shows a number greater than 3?

3:3 breaks down to be 1/5 probability, is this work right?

As I see it:

Red has only 1 choice out of 6

Blue has 3 choices (4 or 5 or 6) out of 6.

So what is the combined probability?
