Default Re: Simple Variance Question

Hey Jim , just to let you know , you are getting 5:1 against rolling a particular number from a die not 6:1 like you said .

The probability should be 1/6 that you roll a particular number which means odds against of (6-1):1.
I know it's been awhile since you've taken stats but these are some of the mistakes that people make .
