Question

Two games that can be played with fair six-

sided dice are shown below.
a) In which game is it more likely that you
would score 6?
b) What is the difference between the
probabilities of scoring 6 in game 1 and game
2?
Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest
form.

Answer 1

a) Game 1: P(6) = 1/6 = 6/36

Game 2: P(6) = 5/36

It is more likely in Game 1 that a 6 would

be rolled.

b) 6/36 - 5/36 = 1/36
