What is the probability of having a double (two dice will show the same number) when we throw 5 dice (all dice have 6 sides)?
My calculations are:
Combinations(5,2)*6 / 5^6
When I try to find the probability of having a pair of doubles (two dice will show the same number and another two dice will show the same number) when we throw 5 dice, my calculations are the following:
Combinations(5,2)*6 / 5^6 * Combinations(3,2)*6 / 5^6
Is that approach correct or I should try something else?
