Probability test

Independent events :C

Ah, those dependent and independent variables...

at least it appears most people appear to understand it :)

i ate both dices :3

The problem is that even the people who understand probability when abstracted like this fail to grasp it when it is presented in a natural context and/or there are many implicit assumptions.

For instance. How many times do you have to roll a dice to guarantee that you get at least one 6? Analogous to the question of how many GAs does it take to get your first win, assuming only 6 people enter.

Trick question: You can never guarantee it, at least not in an absolute sense of 100% guaranteed. Precisely because each GA/dice roll is independent.

i play dnd and i know my dice

can't answer your poll, need more info: Did you say 'thanks' before or after you rolled the dice? :P

Not enough information. It all depends on the dice: the number of sides on each dice and how they're numbered. For example if the first die has 36 sides numbered 1-36 and the second is a cube with 6s on all sides the odds of rolling a second 6 is 100% in the inverse case it would ~2.77%
