anonymous one year ago In a dice game, you win if the two dice come up 11. Otherwise, you lose $1. What should be the profit for winning to make this game fair? • This Question is Closed 1. anonymous do you know what the probability is you get an 11 on the sum of two dice? 2. anonymous I do not 3. anonymous lol what did you do, turn around? 4. anonymous ok there are two different ways to roll an 11, $$(6,5)$$ and $$(5,6)$$ out of the 36 possible rolls probability it $$\frac{2}{36}=\frac{1}{18}$$ 5. anonymous I knew there were 2 ways i just didn't know what to do with it lol 6. anonymous we are not done yet 7. anonymous I know 8. anonymous 17 out of 18 times you lose$1 so you better win $17 when you do roll an 11 9. anonymous you can think of it this way roll 18 times, you lost 17 times and win once so you lose$17 and therefore you have to win \$17 to break even
