Two dice are thrown ntimes in succession. Compute

the probability that a double 6appears at least once. How large need nbe to make this probability at least12?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore,

n=25to make this probability at least12.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

Two dice are thrown ntimes in succession.

02

Explanation.

P(double6appearsatleastonce)=1-P(double6neverappears)

=1-(35/36)n

If, 1-(35/36)>12
