1/6 on the first roll, and 1/6 of rolling a six on the second roll. Overall, the chances of you rolling a 5 on the first and a six on the second is 1/3.

What is the probability of rolling a 6 the first time and a 1 the second time?
What is the probability of rolling a 6 the first time and a 1 the second time
What is the probability of rolling a 2 on the first dice and an odd number on the second dice?
None, because you cannot have the first or second dice: it is the first die or second die. The probability is 1/6 * 1/2 = 1/12
What is the probability of rolling a 3 and 6 on a six sided dice?
The probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6. There are two ways to roll a 3 and 6: roll 3 on the first die and 6 on the second or roll 6 on the first and 3 on the second. The probability of the first is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36. Likewise the probability of the second is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36. Combined you get 1/36 + 1/36 = 2/36 = 1/18
What is the probability of two dice rolling a 5 on the first die and a 2 on the second die rounded to the nearest whole percent?
The probability is 1 out of 36, or about 3%, I think.
What is the probability of throwing just one one with two dice?
The probability of throwing just one one with two dice can be calculated by considering the different ways it can occur. There are two ways to get one one: rolling a one on the first die and any number on the second die, or rolling any number on the first die and a one on the second die. There are a total of 36 possible outcomes when rolling two dice, so the probability is 2/36, which simplifies to 1/18.

What is the probability of rolling a 2 and then a 3 with 6-sised cubes?
The probability of rolling a 2 on the first roll is 1 in 6. The probability of rolling a 3 on the second roll is 1 in 6. However, the probability of rolling a 2 on the first roll and 3 on the second roll before you roll at all is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1 in 36.
What is the probability of rolling a 2 on the first dice and an odd number on the second dice?
None, because you cannot have the first or second dice: it is the first die or second die. The probability is 1/6 * 1/2 = 1/12
If you roll two die what is the probability that one die will roll a one and the second die will roll a two?
Assuming you are talking about fair, six-sided dice, then the probability of rolling a 1 on the first roll in 1/6, and the probability of rolling a 2 on the second roll is 1/6. Putting these together, the probability of rolling 1 on the first die and 2 on the second die is 1/36. If you do not care about the order, then you could roll 1,2 or 2,1; in this case the probability would be 2/36, or 1/18.
What is the probability of rolling a 3 and 6 on a six sided dice?
The probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6. There are two ways to roll a 3 and 6: roll 3 on the first die and 6 on the second or roll 6 on the first and 3 on the second. The probability of the first is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36. Likewise the probability of the second is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36. Combined you get 1/36 + 1/36 = 2/36 = 1/18
What is the probability of two dice rolling a 5 on the first die and a 2 on the second die rounded to the nearest whole percent?
The probability is 1 out of 36, or about 3%, I think.
What is the probability of rolling a 5 on the first roll or a 4 on the second roll?
1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3
What is the probability of rolling divisors of 12 on both dice?
Of all the six numbers on a cube, only the '5' is not a factor of 12.Probability of rolling a factor of 12 on the first cube = 5/6 .Probability of rolling a factor of 12 on the second cube = 5/6 .Probability of rolling a factor of 12 on both cubes = (5/6 x 5/6 ) = 25/36 = 694/9 %.
What is the probability of throwing a sum of 15 on three rolls of a fair die if the first roll was a 4?
Rolling a sum of 15 on three rolls of a die, when the first roll is a 4, is the same as rolling a sum of 11 on the second and third roll. The probability of rolling 11 on two dice is 3 in 36, or 1 in 12.
What is the probability of throwing just one one with two dice?
The probability of throwing just one one with two dice can be calculated by considering the different ways it can occur. There are two ways to get one one: rolling a one on the first die and any number on the second die, or rolling any number on the first die and a one on the second die. There are a total of 36 possible outcomes when rolling two dice, so the probability is 2/36, which simplifies to 1/18.
What is the probability of rolling a 4 or a 12 on the first roll of a pair of dice?
The probability of rolling a 4 is 3/36 . The propbability of rolling 12 is 1/36 . The probability of rolling either one is 4/36 = 1/9 = 111/9 percent.
What is the probability of rolling a die twice and getting a 2 on the first roll and a 3 or less on the second roll?
2/12 or 1/6
