Two dice are rolled. Determine the probability of the following: rolling a 6 or doubles

Answer as an exact fraction = 5/18

Answer as an approximate decimal = 0.2778

Answer as an approximate percentage = 27.78%

Explanation:

x = result of the first die

y = result of the second die

(x,y) paired together shows the results of both dice at the same time.

Something like (x,y) = (4,2) means we got 4 on the first die and 2 on the second die.

Let's list the ways of rolling a 6

There are 5 ways to roll a 6. Each pair listed has the property x+y = 6.

List all the ways of getting doubles

There are 6 ways to roll doubles. Each pair mentioned has x = y.

We have 5+6 = 11 items listed above. However, there are only 10 unique pairs though because (3,3) was listed twice. So we could say 5+6-1 = 11-1 = 10.

This is out of 6*6 = 36 different ways to roll the two dice. The probability is therefore 10/36 = 5/18.

Using a calculator, 5/18 = 0.2778 = 27.78%

hope this

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
