While playing Yahtzee, Amanda rolls five dice and gets 1, 2, 4, 5, 6. She decides to keep the 1, 2, and 4, and reroll the 5 and 6.
After rerolling the 5 and 6, what is the probability for a large straight (1-2-3-4-5) or three 4's?
Also, what is the probability for a small straight (1-2-3-4 plus anything else)or a pair of three's?

You asked this question earlier. It has already been answered
What you are being asked is what is the probability of getting 3 and 5 or two 4s on the next roll.
On the second problem, the probability of getting a 3 is 1/6 and "anything else" is 1. With the information below, you should be able to calculate the probability of a pair of 3s.
The probability of getting any particular number on a die is 1/6. The probability of getting both numbers is obtained by multiplying the individual probabilities. The probability of getting "either-or" is obtained by adding the probabilities.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

From what drwls has said, I want to ask you to please only post your questions once. Repeating posts will not get a quicker response. In addition, it wastes our time looking over reposts that have already been answered in a previous post. Thank you.
