Does it tell you what event C is or something?

anonymous · Answer

No, that is everything that is given

anonymous · Answer

1 in 6 x 1 in 6 = a 1 in 36 chance of rolling two sixes.

anonymous · Answer

it is that straight forward.

anonymous · Answer

So "C" would stand for constant? with "C" being a constant times by the probability "A" would mean "AC" as "getting the same number on both dice"?

anonymous · Answer

Oh. It's weird notation. It's $A^{C}$, right?

anonymous · Answer

Because that means "the probability of that thing not happening" but I've almost never seen it written like that.

anonymous · Answer

yes its A^c
