A biased six sided dice is rolled twice. Show that the probability that the two results are the same is at least $frac16$.
(Hint: $(p_1 − a)^2 + . . . + (p_6 − a)^2 ≥ 0$ and choose suitable
$p_1, . . . , p_6$, a.)

Let $p_i$ be the probability of rolling $i$. Then $sum_i=1^6 p_i = 1$.



By Cauchy-Schwarz inequality,



$$beginalign*
left(sum_i=1^6 1^2right) left(sum_i=1^6 p_i^2right) &ge
left(sum_i=1^6 1p_iright)^2\
6left(sum_i=1^6 p_i^2right) &ge 1\
sum_i=1^6 p_i^2 &ge frac16endalign*$$



Equality holds when all the $p_i$ are the same, i.e. when the die is unbiased.
