uummm!!!! The probability would maybe close to 5 or 4.

The answer is clearly incorrect because the probability of an event cannot be greater than 1.
The actual probability, assuming the dice are fair, is 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.11...%

Is it significant to get a twelve when a pair of dice is rolled with probability of less than or equal to five tenth?
The probability to get a 12, with two dice, is 1/36.
What is the probability that two dice add up to five with one toss?
With fair regular dice, the answer is 4/36 = 1/9
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.
What is the event space for rolling the sum of 8 with two dice?
There are 36 permutations of rolling two dice. Of these, there are five that add up to a sum of 8...6+25+34+43+52+6This translates to an event (or sample) space of {62, 53, 44, 35, 26}.The probability, then, of rolling a sum of 8 on two dice is 5 in 36, or about 0.1389.
What is the probability of getting a sum less than five when rolling dice?
There are 36 permutations of two dice. Of these, 6 have a sum less than five, 1+1, 1+2, 1+3, 2+1, 2+2, and 3+1. The probability, then, of rolling a sum less than five on two dice is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.
When rolling five dice what is the probability that all 5 dice will be the same number?
The probability of rolling the same number on five dice is (1/6)4, or about 0.0007716.
What is the probability of rolling a five with one dice?
1/6

The probability to get a 12, with two dice, is 1/36.
When two dice are rolled what is the probability that both will be a five?
if you multiply the number of rolls you did you will get the answer

If you roll two dice what are the odds that you get a one or a five?
I suppose you mean, at least one of those numbers. Just calculate the probability of NOT getting any of those, and take the complement. The probability of not getting a one nor a five on a single die is 4/6 or 2/3. For two dice, the probability is 2/3 x 2/3 = 4/9. So, the probability of getting at least a one or a five with two dice is 1 - 4/9 = 5/9.I suppose you mean, at least one of those numbers.

What is the probability of throwing a 5 on a dice?
1 in 6. U would of thought it was 5/6 but there aren't five 5s on a dice. There's only1.

If five dice are rolled simultaneously what is the probability of getting 5 of a kind in a single roll?
If we are thinking of getting a '6', here are the odds. Wth one dice, its 1 in 6. So,with two dice its 1 in 216 with three dice its 1 in 7776 with four dice its 1 in 279936 with five dice its a huge 1 in 10077696
Which is bigger the probability of 2 fours or the probability of 1 five or 1 six?
It depends upon how you are picking these numbers. Let's say you are rolling two dice. The probability of rolling 2 fours is 1 in 36. The probability of exactly 1 five is 10 in 36, while the probability of at least 1 five is 11 in 36. The probability of exactly 1 six is 10 in 36, while the probability of at least 1 six is 11 in 36. The probability of at least 1 five or 1 six is 19 in 36. The probability of exactly 1 five or six is 15 in 36. So no matter how you look at it, with dice rolling, the probability of 1 five or 1 six is bigger than the probability of 2 fours. However, if you are picking numbers from a hat, then the probabilities are different.
