You are tossing a pair of fair, six-sided dice in a board game. Tosses are independent. You land in a danger zone that requires you to roll doubles (both faces showing the same number of spots) before you are allowed to play again.

a. What is the probability of rolling doubles on a single toss of the dice?

b. What is the probability that you do not roll doubles on the first toss, but you do on the second toss?

c. What is the probability that the first two tosses are not doubles and the third toss is doubles? This is the probability that the first doubles occurs on the third toss.

d. Do you see the pattern? What is the probability that the first doubles occurs on the kth toss?
