If the question is: What are the odds of rolling a die with a 6 when rolling two

dice ? . Answer: There are 36 outcomes when rolling a pair of dice, 10 of them

have a die with a single 6 and 1 of them has two 6. So the probability of rolling

one die with a 6 when rolling a pair of dice is P =

10/36 =

0.2777... . The odds

would be (10 to 26) 5 to 13.

If the question is: What are the odds of rolling a sum of 6 when rolling two dice ?

Answer: there are 5 outcomes out of the 36 that give the sum of 6. They are;

(1,5), (5,1), (2,4), (4,2), and (3,3). So the probability for this event is P =

5/36 =

0.13888... . The odds would be 5 to 31.
