Each die has 1-6 on the face.
\n" ); document.write( "List all of the possible rolls (36 total) and the sume of the die faces.
\n" ); document.write( "1 1=2
\n" ); document.write( "1 2=3
\n" ); document.write( "1 3=4
\n" ); document.write( "1 4=5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "6 1=7
\n" ); document.write( "6 2=8
\n" ); document.write( "6 3=9
\n" ); document.write( "6 4=10
\n" ); document.write( "6 5=11
\n" ); document.write( "6 6=12
\n" ); document.write( "EXCEL works great for this task.
\n" ); document.write( "Now count the number of 7 sums and the number of 11 sums.
\n" ); document.write( "There are six 7 sums (1-6,2-5,3-4,4-3,5-2,6-1) and two 11 sums (5-6,6-5).
\n" ); document.write( "That's a total of 8 outcomes out of a possible 36.
\n" ); document.write( "P(immediate win)=8/36=2/9 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
