Two standard six-sided dice are rolled what is the probability of rolling a two on at least one of the dice?

The probability is 11/36. There are 36 possible outcomes, but 25 of these don't involve a 2 on either die.
The way to answer this is to ask what is the probability of not rolling a 2 on either die and subtract this from one.
The probability of not rolling a 2 with the first die is 5/6. It is of course also 5/6 chance of not rolling a 2 with the second die. So we multiply the probabilities and subtract from 1.
1 - (5/6 * 5/6) = 1 - (25/36) = 11/36.

What is the probability of rolling 6 or less if two dice are rolled once?
The probability is 1, if the dice are rolled often enough.
What is the probability of a 5 not being rolled on a dice?
Probability is desired options over total options. There are 6 faces on a standard dice, so NOT rolling a 5 is 5/6.
When a dice is rolled what is the probability of rolling a 3?
If you're only rolling one die, it's a probability of 1 out of six, or 16.67%.
What is the probability of rolling doubles when two dice are rolled?
It is 1/6.
If sixteen dice are rolled what is the probability of rolling at least one six?
It is 0.9459

What is the probability of rolling the same number when two dice are rolled?
1/6
If sixteen dice are rolled what is the probability of rolling at least one six?
It is 0.9459
When two dice are rolled what is the probability of not getting a sum of 12?
The probability of rolling 12 with 2 dice is 1 in 36. The probability of not rolling 12 with 2 dice is 35 in 36.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of 6 or less with two dice?
The probability is 1, if the dice are rolled often enough.
If two fair dice were rolled what is the probability of them rolling a sum of six?
If you rolled 2 fair dice, the probability of having a sum of 6 is 5 over 36
What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 5 on a number cube if it is rolled 300 times?
The theoretical probability of rolling a 5 on a standard six sided die is one in six. It does not matter how many times you roll it, however, if you roll it 300 times, the theoretical probability is that you would roll a 5 fifty times.
What is the probability of rolling an even number on a standard 6 sided die if an even number is rolled 7 times out of 12?
A standard die has no memory and so the probability of rolling an even number is always a half. If you did not know that the die was standard and were using the fact that 7 out of 12 rolls were even as an empirical estimate for a loaded die then the answer is 7/12.
What is the probability of getting a sum of 3 when three number cubes are rolled?
If the number cubes are standard dice cubes, the odds of rolling 3 ones is 1 in 216.
