'Two tosses of a die' means the die is thrown twice, independently. On a single toss, a success (a number greater than 4, i.e. 5 or 6) has probability p=2/6=1/3p = 2/6 = 1/3, and failure has probability q=2/3q = 2/3. Let X be the number of successes in the 2 tosses: P(X=0)=q2=4/9P(X=0) = q^2 = 4/9; $ …
