Question

In the game of "Craps," a player rolls two 6-sided dice. Their score on each roll is the sum of the two dice. On the first roll, a player can: (1) Win automatically by rolling a 7 or 11. (2) Lose automatically by rolling a 2, 3, or 12 (called "craps"). (3) "Play on" by rolling any other score besides 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12. What is the probability that a player will lose on their first roll? Round your answer to four decimal places. (Hint: You may want to make a 6x6 square the way I did in the lectures!)
