+\subsection{Probability of Success}
+
+\begin{multicols}{2}
+    The first question to ask is: ``What is the probability of success, given a fixed \stat{DT}?''
+
+    We will use the binomial distribution $\text{B}(20,7/20)$ for the size of the dice pool, to compute the expectation. This is a fairly arbitrary choice that assumes 7 is the average pool size.
+
+    \Cref{tab:cos} shows the probability of success for a given \stat{DT} as well as number of successes in a number of attempts.

+\subsection{Expected Margin of Success}
+
+\begin{multicols}{2}
+    We also want to know what the expected margin of success is, given that the player succeeded in the roll, $\text{E}\left[M | M \geq 0\right]$. \Cref{tab:exp_mos} shows the expectations. 
+    
+    Of note are the expected numbers of successes for \stat{DT} 11. The requirement for critical successes there causes a large variance in results.
