When rolling 2 dies, what must be the probabilities and the winning costs if the cost to play is $6?
(Hint: use the expected value equation)
There are multiple answers for this question. As long as your probabilities and your winning costs, when plugged into the expected value equation, equals $6, your answers are correct.
