Backgammon is a board game for two players in which the playing pieces are moved according to the roll of two dice. players win by removing all of their pieces from the board, so it is usually good to roll high numbers. you are playing backgammon with a friend and you roll two 6s in your first roll and two 6s in your second roll. your friend rolls two 3s in his first roll and again in his second row. your friend claims that you are cheating, because rolling double 6s twice in a row is very unlikely. using probability, show that your rolls were just as likely as his.

The rolls of the dice are independent, i.e. the outcome of the second die doesn't depend in any way on the outcome of the first die.

In cases like this, the probability of two events happening one after the other is the multiplication of the probabilities of the two events.

So, the probability of rolling two 6s is the multiplication of the probabilities of rolling a six with the first die, and another six with the second:

Similarly,

Actually, you can see that the probability of rolling any ordered couple is always 1/36, since the probability of rolling any number on both dice is 1/6:
