SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the probability of rolling a specific outcome, such as an 11, given a binomial probability scenario. The probability of achieving exactly six elevens in 100 tosses is stated to be 24.6%. To derive the probability of a single eleven, denoted as p, participants are encouraged to apply the binomial probability formula, which is essential for solving such problems in probability theory.

Is there a way to calculate, say, the probability of a dice landing on an 11, given that the binomial probability of getting exactly six elevens in 100 tosses is 24.6%?

hi moonman239! :wink:

yes … call the probability of one 11 p …

then what is the formula for the probability of six 11s in 100 ? :smile:
