Answer 1

the correct t answer is d

Answer 2

Explanation:

She wins if the numbers 5 or 6 come up. There are 4 other numbers that are equally likely to be face up.

Most of the time she will lose because two out of 6 is much smaller than 4/6. If you were betting on horses, the odds are 1 in 2. That means that who ever you are playing against should put up 2 dollars for every dollar you put up.

That would be a fair game.
