P(at least one six on rolling 2 dice)=1136
Explanation:
We can assume without loss of generality that one die is red and the other die is green.
The value that shows up on the red die is not effected by the value that shows up on the green die (i.e. the red and green die faces are independent).
When A and B are independent
P(A and B)=P(A)P(B)
If A= not getting a 6 on the red die and B= not getting a 6 on the green die
Then P(A)=56 and P(B)=56
and P(not getting a 6 on either die)=P(A and B)=5656=2536
P(not getting a 6 on either die)
=1P(not getting a 6 on either die)
=12536=1136
