probability with a die

Question

a fair die is rolled four times. what is the probability of getting at least two sixes?

Answer 1

Similar to your poker problem, you represent each desired die roll as a fraction, then multiply those fractions.

 

A six-sided die has a 1/6 probability of rolling any particular number. The probability of rolling the same number twice is therefore 1/6 x 1/6. Try it - you should get 1/36 or 0.0555 - less than 6% chance.
