This is a great project on probability.

If you followed the specific directions, your person got the autoimmune disease if you randomly picked matching colors and rolled a six on the die. If colors do not match, you get the skip rolling the die.

If you used a bag of M&M with 6 different colors, what is the probability of picking matching colors? If you roll a six sided die, what is the probability that you will roll a six?

Does this help? Please let us know if you need additional explanation.
