What is the probability of getting a multiple of 3 or 4 in throwing a dice?
It depends on how many times you throw it! On a single throw, the answer is 0.5
How many times must you throw two standard dice to be sure you get the same sum at least twice?
The probability of gettting a particular sum on a standard set of dice depends on which sum you are seeking. For example, the sums of 2 and 12 have a probability of 1 in 36, or about 0.0278; while the sum of 7 has a probability of 6 in 36, or 1 in 6, or about 0.167.Specifically answering the question; it is not possible to guarantee a particular outcome in a random throw, or in a series of random throws, of the dice. You can only talk about probability. Let's take the worst case of trying to throw a 2 or a 12. Even of you throw the dice 100 times, the probability is only 0.0278100, or about 2.34 x 10-156 that you will not throw the 2 or 12; so, the probability is extremely good that you will throw a 2 or 12 in 100 throws, but it is not guaranteed. That's the thing about probability.
If a dice is rolled 90 times what is the sum of the first and second roll expected to be on average?
If a DIE (not dice) is rolled 90 times, the expected value of the sum of the first and second rolls is 7 if you assume that the die is fair. It does not matter how many times you roll the die, as long as it is at least 2.
How many possible outcomes sum of dots are there if you throw the two dice?
There are eleven possible "sums of dots" if you throw two 6-sided dice. The range of possible values is from 2 (1+1) to 12 (6+6).
What is the probability that at least one of the dice will show 3?
Depends on how many dice are involved. 1 die 1/6 2 dice 1/3 3 dice 1/2
How many times must you throw 2 dice to be sure you get the same sum at least twice Working out please?
1 out of 6 * * * * * Total rubbish. There are 11 possible sums - the numbers 2 to 12. So if you throw the dice 12 times, the first 11 can be different but the 12th must be a repeat.

How many times must you throw two dice to be sure that you get the same sum at least twice?
Since there are 11 different outcomes it is possible that the first eleven throws are all different. But the 12th time you throw must repeat one of the previous results.

How many times would you have to roll a pair of dice to make double sixs a 50 percent probability?
If you roll a pair of fair dice 25 times, the probability of rolling a double six at least once is just above 50% (50.55%).
How many dice would stop a roulette wheel spinning?
1 if you throw it hard enough...
If a dice is rolled 90 times what is the sum of the first and second roll expected to be on average?
If a DIE (not dice) is rolled 90 times, the expected value of the sum of the first and second rolls is 7 if you assume that the die is fair. It does not matter how many times you roll the die, as long as it is at least 2.
How many possible outcomes sum of dots are there if you throw the two dice?
There are eleven possible "sums of dots" if you throw two 6-sided dice. The range of possible values is from 2 (1+1) to 12 (6+6).

What is the probability of throwing the dice and getting a total of 5 on the first throw and getting a total of 10 on the second throw?
You have not given any information about the shape and numbering of the dice nor how many are thrown each time. Without that information it is not possible to answer the question.
If you roll a dice 60 times about how many times would you expect it to get a 1?
60
How many times would you roll a sum of seven on one number dice?
never.. the highest number on a dice is a 6
