    Probability
    Suppose that you have two dice, a black one and a white one. The probability thatyou will role a 6 using the black die is 1/3 (it is not a fair die otherwise the probabilitywould have been 1/6), the rest of the outcomes are equally likely. The white die is affair die (each number has a probability of 1/6). Suppose now that you are playing agame with an opponent, using the above mentioned dies, in which each of you rolls adie and the player with the highest roll wins. In case of equal results, the player with the white die wins. Which die should you choose so that you have a better chance ofwinning the game.
