Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We can start by determining all the different combinations we can get.
We are using 6 sided dices, so we have a chance of getting 6 different numbers for each dice.
If we only have 1 dice, the our possible values would be:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
However, we have 2 dices. As such, our combinations have been multiplied, and now our possibilities are:
(1 , 1) , (1 , 2) , (1 , 3) , (1 , 4) , (1 , 5) , (1 , 6) , (2 , 1) , (2 , 2) , (2 , 3) , (2 , 4) , (2 , 5) , (2 ,6), and so on for 3, 4, 5, and 6
We can find the number of combinations by simply multiplying the amount of possible values for each dice.
Since both dices have 6 possible values, we multiply 6 by 6, and the amount of possible combinations is 36.
Now, let's determine the possibility for getting a double.
First, let's determine how many doubles we can get:
(1 , 1) , (2 , 2) , (3 , 3) , (4 , 4) , (5 , 5) , (6 ,6)
There are 6 different combinations for rolling a double.
So, our probability of rolling a double on two 6 sided dices is 6 out of 36
We can simplify that to 1 out of 6.
So the probability of rolling a double on two 6 sided dices is 1/6
