You simultaneously roll 5 dice, and if all 5 dice are the same value, you win. If your dice are not all the same, you get to re-roll all 5 dice again. You get three tries in total. What is the probability of winning? That is, what is the probability that in your three tries, at least one of your rolls consists of five-of-a-kind?

On each turn you roll the dice twice. If you roll the same number twice then you win and if you don't then you lose. You start with 100 tokens and if you win then you get 5 tokens and if you lose you lose 2 tokens. After 36 turns, how many tokens will you have?

Suppose that we roll a pair of (6 sided) dice until the first sum value appears that is 7 or less, and then we stop afterwards. a. What is the probability that exactly three (pairs of) rolls are required? b. What is the probability that at least three (pairs of) rolls are needed? c. What is the probability that, on the last rolled pair, we get a result of exactly 7?

Please follow the comment. 2. Roll two fair dice repeatedly. If the sum is ≥ 10, then you win. (a) What is the probability that you start by winning 3 times in a row? (b)What is the probability that after rolling the pair of dice 5 times you win exactly 3 times? (c) What is the probability that the first time you win is before the tenth roll (of the pair), but after the fifth?

Consider an experiment where we roll 7 fair 6-sided dice simultaneously (the results of the dice are independent from each other). (a) What is the probability that exactly 3 of the dice are greater than or equal to 5? (b) Suppose now that each of the 7 6-sided dice are weighted the same such that the probability of rolling a 6 is 0.5, and every other side that is not a 6 has equal probability of being rolled. If we...

Problem 4)A simplified version of the dice game 10,000 is played using 5 dice. The player rolls the 5 six-sided dice, each 1 that is rolled, the player achieves a score of 100. A) How many possible ways are there to roll i l's over these 5 dice? (Hint: use combinations) B) The probability of any one dice rolling to a value of 1 is 1/5 (since each dice has six sides). Use the binomial probability distribution. Calculate the probability...

Players A and B take turns at rolling two dice, starting with A. The first person to get a sum of at least 9 on a roll of the two dice wins the game. Find the probability that A will win the game if: (a) the game is just about to begin (b) 8, 4, 3, 7 and 7 have already been rolled (c) a draw is to be declared in the event of no-one winning within 6 rolls.

Setup: 3 different people take turns rolling dice. They all get doubles WITHIN 3 ROLLS. NOT IN A ROW. Each person waits their turn to roll. On each persons turn, they each roll doubles WITHIN 3 ROLLS. GIVEN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: - There is a 25% chance that the dice are loaded so that:  Each die is loaded so that 6 comes up half the time P(6) = .5 for each die. The other numbers (1-5) are equally likely to show...

You roll two dice. Let Y be a random variable that is the larger of the two rolls (or, if the rolls are the same, your random variable is that value). Write Y as a function from the outcome space to the real number What is the distribution of Y? What is P(Y≥5)?
