Roll it up.

We have two dice. One is fair, but the other is skewed with the probability of getting a 6 being 1 2 . \frac{1}{2}.

We roll the dice for a total of 100 times following these rules:

  • First, the fair die is rolled.
  • In the subsequent rolls, if the previous roll was a 6, then the skewed die is rolled; otherwise, the fair one is rolled.

What is the expected number of 6's coming up in these 100 rolls?


The answer is 24.875.
