You can put this solution on YOUR website! A) using a pair of dice, the possible nines are
(3,6), (6,3) (4, 5), (5, 4)
There are 36 possible outcomes, therefore
************************************************
Probability of rolling a total of 9 = 4/36 = 1/9
************************************************
:
B) using a pair of dice,
(5,2), (5,2)
Probability of rolling (5,2) on two consecutive rolls is (1/36) * (1/36) = 1/1296
