Algebra.Com's Answer #36431 by funmath(2933)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are two ways of getting an 11 with 2 dice, (5,6) and (6,5). \n" ); document.write( "There are 6*6=36 possible sums with two 6 dice. \n" ); document.write( "So the probability of getting an 11 with two dies is 2/36=1/18. \n" ); document.write( "Because you're finding the probability of two succesive rolls, you multiply the probability of getting the first 11 * the probabilty of getting the second 11. \n" ); document.write( "P(11 and 11)=(1/18)(1/18)=1/324=.0031 \n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!! \n" ); document.write( " |
