Question 977788: A and B play a game as follows: an ordinary die is rolled and if a “six” is obtained then A
wins and if a “one” is obtained then B wins. If neither a six nor a one is obtained then the
die is rolled again until a decision can be made. What is the probability that A wins on (i)the first roll and (ii) the second roll? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is (1/6) for both, since the rolls are independent.
If it is for both rolls, then it would be the joint probability, or (1/36)
