Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks for the probability of rolling double 2s when two 6-sided dice are rolled.
-
Each die has 6 faces, with numbers from 1 to 6. The total number of outcomes when rolling two dice is:
-
Rolling double 2s means that both dice show a 2. There is exactly one outcome where this happens: (2, 2).
-
The probability is the number of favorable outcomes (rolling double 2s) divided by the total number of possible outcomes:
So, the probability of rolling double 2s is .
