Question 1126740: In a game called Taxation and Evasion, a player rolls a pair of dice. If, on any turn, the sum is 7, 11, or 12, the player gets audited. Otherwise, she avoids taxes. Suppose a player takes 5 turns at rolling the dice. The probability that she does not get audited is what? Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! An audit has the chance of 9/36 or 1/4.
Why? 7 is 6/36, 11 is 2/36, 12 is 1/36
Therefore "no audit" is 3/4 and no audit on 5 rolls is (3/4)^5 or 243/1024, not good odds .
