What is the probability that the sum of two dice will yield a 6, and then when both are thrown again, their sum will again yield a 6? assume that each die has 5 sides with faces numbered 1 to 5. Choose the correct choice:
A) 1/144
B) 1/25
C) 1/12
D) 1/6
E) 1/3
Solution -   Rolling dices is an independent event.   The combinations to get 6 are (1,5), (5,1), (2,4), (4,2), (3,3) and total combinations of both dices is 25.   The probability of getting 6 in first attempt is 5/25=1/5.   Probability of getting 6 again in second attempt = (1/5)*(1/5) = 1/25. ANS 1/25
