a pair of dice is thrown 4 times . if getting a doublet is considered a sucess , find the probability of two successes.
Answers
The experiment is to toss a pair of dice (n=4) times. Getting a doublet is considered a success. It is a case of Bernoulli trials.
When a pair of dice is thrown once, the number of possible outcomes = 6×6=36.
The number of possible doublets in this case is :
{(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}
P(getting a doublet on a roll of two dice) = p=
