If the defender rolls 1, then the attacker must roll 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 to win. So in this case the probability that the attacker will win = (1/6) * (5/6). Here 1/6 is the probability that the defender will roll 1 and 5/6 is the probability that the attacker will roll any one of the 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
If the defender rolls 2, then the probability that attacker will win if he/she rolls 3, 4, 5 or 6 with probability = (1/6) * (4/6)
Same will go on for defender rolling 3, 4 and 5.
So the total probability = (1/6) * (5/6) + (1/6) * (4/6) + (1/6) * (3/6) + (1/6) * (2/6) + (1/6) * (1/6) = 15/36 = 0.4167

Basically, each person has 9 different other persons to choose from, and after that happens, the next pair's person has 7 other people to choose from (10 minus the first pair and himself) all the way down to the last person, that has only 1 other person to choose from.
so you have, N = 9 * 7 * 5 * 3 * 1 = (9)!! = 945
To form pair of only male and female each person (say male) will have 5 females to choose. After he chooses, the next person (Say male) will have 4 females to choose. After he chooses the next person (say female) will have 3 males to choose and it will go until the last male or female will choose the opposite gender.
So the number of ways are, P = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120
Desired probability = P/N = 120/945 = 0.127

John and Paul play the following game. They each roll one fair 6-sided die. John wins the game if his score is larger than Paul’s score or if the product of the scores is an odd number. Find the probability that John wins.
You and your opponent both roll a fair die. If you both roll the same number, the game is repeated, otherwise whoever rolls the larger number wins. Let N be the number of times the two dice have to be rolled before the game is decided. (d) Assume that you get paid $10 for winning in the first round, $1 for winning in any other round, and nothing otherwise. Compute your expected winnings. Answer: (d) You get paid $10 with...
