What can happen?

Read what is random and what is being counted. Choose the exact probability or expected point value.

Help

Choose one of five answers. The answer locks when selected. Read the method, then choose Next question.

Count equally likely outcomes, not just different-looking results. Two dice have 36 ordered outcomes, but their sums are not equally likely.

All answers are exact. Fractions may represent probabilities or point values. For draws without replacement, the bag changes after the first draw.

Expected payout is the average points received over many repetitions, not a promised result on one roll. Expected net gain subtracts the fixed cost and can be negative.
