Ok, i am in pre-calculus, and the teacher assigned the class a question that
has to do w/ probabiltity. don't ask why. Anyway, i totally forgot
everything i learned about in Algebra 2 about the subject so i decided to
try and get some help on-line, this is the question;

A game involves two cubes with sides numbered from 1 through 6. After
throwing the two cudes, the smaller number is subtracted from the larger
number to find the score. If the numbers are the same the score is 0. What
is the probablility of throwing two cubes and getting a score of 4?

please help.

Thanks.....
