Even though I know the dice are not loaded or off balance, I just know that if I roll them I'll get snake eyes. I always have before.

Use the rules of probability to determine the strength of the following argument. In other words, given that the premises are true, how likely is the conclusion?


On the classical theory, the argument is very weak, since the probability of rolling snake eyes with a pair of ordinary six-sided dice is only 1/36. On the relative frequency theory, the argument is quite strong!
