Question

What is the probability that Annie rolls a sum of 6 and Jose rolls doubles?

Answer 1

1:6 for Annie
2:12 for Jose which could be simplified to
1:6 as well

Answer 2

Answer: Probability that Annie rolls a sum of 6 and Jose rolls doubles is given by
`(1)/(36)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

A die is rolled twice.

Total number of outcomes = 36

Number of outcomes whose sum is 6 = 5

{(1,5),(2,4),(3,3),(4,2),(5,1)}

Number of outcomes whose sum is 6 and rolls doubles = 1

i.e. {(3,3)}

So, Probability that Annie rolls a sum of 6 and Jose rolls doubles is given by

`(1)/(36)`
