A. rolling a sum of 9 on two fair six sided dice
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "That's either 3&6, 4&5, 5&4, or 6&3.  4 ways out of 36 or \r\n" );
document.write( "a probability of 4/36 or 1/9.\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "B. drawing the Queen of Diamonds out of a standard 52 card deck given it’s a face card.
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "That's 1 way out of 12 face cards, which has a probability of 1/12\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "C. rolling a sum of 11 on two fair six sided dice
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "That's either a 5&6 or 6&5.  2 ways out of 36 or a probability\r\n" );
document.write( "of 2/36 or 1/18.\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "D. drawing a king out of a standard 52 card deck given it’s a face card.
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "That's 4 ways out of 12 face cards, which has a probability of 4/12\r\n" );
document.write( "or 1/3.\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "E. rolling a sum of 10 on two fair six sided dice
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "That's either 4&6, 5&5, or 6&4.  3 ways out of 36 or \r\n" );
document.write( "a probability of 3/36 or 1/12.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the only two that have the same probability are B and E, which are\r\n" );
document.write( "both 1/12.\r\n" );
