Please Help Me :( hallie is trying to win the grand prize on a game show. Should she try her luck by spinning a wheel with 6 equal sections labeled from 1 to 6 and hope she gets a 5, or should she roll two number cubes and hope she gets the same number on both cubes? Explain

Question

rulnick · Answer

Equal probabilities, both 1/6.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

cubes have 6 sides and there are two of them, so the odds of getting the same on both are not 1/6

rulnick · Answer

Whatever first die produces, the probability second one matches it is 1/6.
