Question

Two cubes are tossed.  Find P(only one shows a 2).

anonymous · Answer

I'm assuming you're talking about normal dice.

ddcamp · Answer

P(A die has a 2) AND P(A die doesn't have a 2)
If you know each probability, you can find the overall probability.

anonymous · Answer

You must evaluate the odds that one shows a two and the other doesn't, but the easiest way  for this one is just to think about how many options fit the conditions.

ddcamp · Answer

Remember, the probability of event A and B happening is the product of P(A) and P(B).

anonymous · Answer

i think it is a binomial probability where probability os suscess = 1/6
probability of failure = 5/6
so the answer is
C(2,1)*(1/6)*(5/6)
