Probability with Two Dice

This video tutorial by Mark Kedos on MathGuide.com explores probability problems using dice. It begins with a definition of probability and proceeds to solve four distinct problems: rolling a single three, not rolling doubles, rolling a sum greater than five, and rolling a sum between four and ten. Each problem is explained with a detailed breakdown of possible outcomes and calculations, demonstrating how to apply the probability formula effectively.
