As a math major I'm completely fascinated by the sheer math behind it....but I'm feeling a little lazy because I don't know the tricks/formulas. If I were to calculate the chances of getting a prime number I'd just crank out each permutation and calculate the percentage. Anyone else want to do it for me?
By all means, through in graphs and maybe even do calculations for other types of die.
I know what you're thinking, "Pomeroy, you're a really shitty math major." FOR NOW I AM....I'm at the point in school where everything is calculus and rote applications, not more pure, fun stuff.
