Question

Find the probability of throwing a sum of 10 at least 9 times in 10 throws of a pair of fair dice.

Answer 1

So the possible ways of throwing a sum of 10 is 4&6, 5&5, 6&4. All possible ways of throwing a pair of dice equal 36, so divide 3 by 36. Then, divide this number by 9 to get the possibility of it being at least 9 times, because the last throw doesn't affect it.
