1/9 ways. total sample space for the experiment is 36(because you have two dice). and you can get 5 in 4 ways that is (1,4),(4,1),(2,3),(3,2). hence 4/36= 1/9.

How many ways can you get a sum 4 when rolling a pair of dice?
two ways one and three and a pair of twos
Chances of rolling an 11 on a pair of dice?
Total different rolls are 36 (6x6) Ways to roll an 11 is 2 (5/6 and 6/5) Probability = number_of_rolls_of_success/total_number_of_rolls = 2/36 = 1/18
What is a possible set of outcomes?
The set of possible outcomes is the set of different ways in which an event might or might not happen. Take a very simple example: If you roll a dice you will roll a 6 or a 5 or a 4 or a 3 or a 2 or a 1. So there are 6 different possible outcomes, all of which are equally probable. If you roll 2 dice at the same time the possible total scores are are from 2 ( a 1 and a 1) to 12 (a 6 and a 6), so there are 11 possible outcomes, but not all equally probable.
How many ways can 12345 be arranged?
Five numbers can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
What is the probability of getting less than 10 when you roll a dice?
A die normally has six sides with the numbers 1 to 6 on them, so any roll will be less than 10 and thus the probability of getting less than 10 with a die is 1. With two normal dice, the sum of the digits on the dice added together ranges from 2 to 12 and the probability of getting less than 10 is the same as 1 minus the probability of getting 10 or more. There are 36 ways the two dice can fall and 10 can be achieved in 3 ways (4&6, 5&5, 6&4), 11 can be achieved in 2 ways (5&6, 6&5) and 12 in 1 way (6&6). Thus the probability of getting 10 or more with 2 dice is (3+2+1)/36 = 6/36 = 1/6 So the probability of getting less than 10 is 1-1/6 = 5/6
How many ways can you roll a six with 2 dice?
12
How many ways can you roll a 7 with 2 dice?
6
When rolling two dice which outcome is more likely a sum of 4 or a sum of 6?
The are more ways to roll a 6 (five ways) than to roll a 4 (three ways).
How many ways can you roll number 6 with 2 dice?
The probability is 1 in 36
How many ways can you roll a five with 2 dice or greater?
6 ways: 1 and 4, 4 and 1, 2 and 3, 3 and 2, 5 and 0, 0 and 5 A five can be rolled with either dice being a 2,3,4,1 and the other dice being the correlating number that adds to five ie. 4-1, 1-4. 3-2. 2-3. There is no 0 on a die.
When rolling a pair of dice how many ways can you get a sum of 1?
count the number of times you get number 1, when you roll a pair of dice.. cheerio
How many ways can you roll number 7 with 2 dice?
3 ways 6 and 1. 3 and 4. 5 and 2.
How is it possible to not roll a 6 with 6 dice?
if you are talking about getting a roll that totals 6 - there is only one way to roll that - get all ones. as such there are 6^6 -1 = 46656 -1 = 46655 other ways to roll the dice. so the odds of not rolling a total of 6 with 6 dice is 46655/46656 = .~99.997857%. If you are talking about not rolling a 6 on ANY of the dice, there are 5 ways to roll each die that will give you something other than 6 so the number of ways to not roll any 6's is 5^6 = 15625. That means the odds of not rolling any 6's on 6 dice is 15625/46656 = ~38.489798%
What is the probability of rolling a five with a pair of dice?
There are 36 possible outcomes when we roll a pair of dice. Rolling a five can be done the following ways: 3-2, 4-1, 2-3 and 1-4. That's four ways to roll a five with one roll of the dice. The odds of rolling a five are 4 in 36, or 1 in 9. That makes the probability of rolling a five equal to 0.11111....We know that the probability of something is a ratio of the number of times it can be done to the total number of things that are possible. Probabilities range from zero to one, inclusive. If something has a probability of zero, it cannot happen. Like rolling a 13. A 13 cannot be rolled with one roll of a pair of standard dice. Thus the probability of rolling a 13 is zero, as it cannot happen.If something has a probability of one, it must happen. Like the probability of rolling an odd or an even number with one roll of a pair of dice. Since any number we roll must be either odd or even, then the probability of rolling an odd or an even number with one roll of a pair of dice is one. An odd or an even number must turn up, and that is why the probability of rolling an odd or an even number with one roll of the dice is one. Lastly, we've seen that the probability of rolling a given number with one roll of the dice is the number of times that number might appear divided by the total number of possibilities that might appear.
When rolling two dice which outcome is more likely a sum of 2 or a sum of 6?
The sum of 6 is five times more likely, because there are five ways to roll a 6 but only one way to make a 2.
What is the probability of getting a sum of five when rolling 2 dice nine times?
A single roll of 2 dice can come up in (6 x 6) = 36 ways. A sum of five is made with 1 and 4, 4 and 1 2 and 3, 3 and 2 four out of the 36. The probability is (4/36)= 1/9 on each roll. If each roll is perfectly random, then the probability of getting a 5 in 9 rolls is 100%.
What is a probability of a sum of seven if you roll two dice?
The probability of a sum of seven if you roll two dice is 6/36 or 1/6. There are 6 ways to roll a 7; (6,1) (5,2) (4,3) (3,4) (2,5) & (1,6) and 36 possible outcomes.
