Detailed explanation-1: -The probability of a double-six in one throw of two die is 1/36 or 0.028.
Detailed explanation-2: -The number of different outcomes on two dice is the number of different outcomes on the first die (6) TIMES the number of different outcomes on the second (6), or 36. The probability of rolling doubles is 1/6, because there are 6 ways to roll doubles. 6/36 = 36.
Detailed explanation-3: -Suppose you roll a die, there are six possible outcomes. They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The probability of getting 1 on die is P(1) = 1/6. Similarly, the probability of getting 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is also 1/6.
Detailed explanation-4: -A single 6-sided die is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a 1 or 6? So the probability of rolling a 1 or 6 is 1/3.
Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: There are only 6 sides on a die, and only 1 of them is 6, so there is a 16 chance of rolling a 6.
