Question 421491: a) A pair of fair dice is rolled ten times. Find the probability that �seven� will show at
least once. b) A pair of fair dice are rolled. What is probability that the second die lands on a
higher value than does the first?

a) A pair of fair dice is rolled ten times.
Find the probability that �seven� will show at least once.
------------------
P(at least one 7 in 10) = 1 - P(no 7's in 10)
= 1 - (5/6)^10
= 1 - 0.1615
= 0.8385
======================
b) A pair of fair dice are rolled. What is probability that the second die lands on a higher value than does the first?
---
Expected value of 1st roll = (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 = 21/6 = 7/2 = 3.5
---
P(2nd roll is more than 3.5) = P(4 or 5 or 6) = 3/6 = 1/2
==============================================================
