Question

Please help! I'll give you a medal<3

Hallie is trying to win the grand prize on a game show. Should she try her luck by spinning the wheel with 6 each selections labeled from 1 to 6 and hope she gets 5, or should she roll two number cubes and hope she gets the same number on both cubes. Explain.

Answer 1

there are 6 ways to get doubles on two dice (what people really call "number cubes") out of 36 possible rolls, making the probability you get doubles \(\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)
compare that to the first event
