Probability calculation.
Ok, so I'm not a math wiz, but if any of you out there are, perhaps you can help me understand.
The probability for 1 dice to land on a 5 or 6(5+) is 2/6(1/3), or 0,33
Now, what I thought was that the probability for 2 dice to land on a 6 (you only want 1 of the dice to be a 6) was the same. But since I wanted to be sure I did it the hard way, so I listed up all the possible variations. I listed the 36 possible combinations, and when I marked the desirable ones, I only counted 11. Does this mean that the probability for throwing a 6 on 2 dice is 11/36 or 0,305?
