There are 6 possible outcomes for each of the dice rolls, giving a total of 6 * 6 = 36 possible outcomes when rolling two dice. Out of these 36 outcomes, there are 6 outcomes that result in doubles (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6).
Therefore, the probability of rolling doubles is 6/36 = 1/6, or approximately 0.167 or 16.7%.
Two standard dice are rolled. What is the probability of rolling doubles (both the same number)
