A person takes at random one of the numbers 1, 2 or 3, with equal probability each of them, and then rolls a balanced die as many times as indicated by the chosen number. Finally, add up the results of the dice rolls. Find the probability that the number 2 was chosen given that the sum of the rolls of the die is 8.
