The probability that when you roll three dice you will get exactly one six is; P(one 6) = 3C1∙(1/6)∙(5/6)2= 0.347222... ~ 34.7%
where 3C1= 3!/[1!∙(3-2)!] = 3, are the three ways the six can come out, that
is the six can come out from die one, die two or die three.

What are the odds of rolling 6 of any specific number using 6 dice in one roll?
The odds of rolling any specific number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling the same specific number using six dice in one roll is 1 in 6 to the 6th, or 1 in 46,656.
What are the odds of rolling any three pair of numbers using 6 dice?
The odds of rolling any number in one roll of one die is 1 in 1. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling a pair using two dice in one roll is 1 in 1 times 1 in 6, or 1 in 6.Now, look at the second pair of dice. The odds of rolling any number other than a number on the first pair is 5 in 6. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling a pair using two dice in one roll, not the pair in the first roll is 5 in 6 times 1 in 6, or 5 in 36.Now, look at the third pair of dice. The odds of rolling any number other than a number on the first two pairs is 4 in 6. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling a pair using two dice in one roll, not one of the first two pairs is 4 in 6 times 1 in 6, or 4 in 36.To compute the total odds of rolling three pairs of numbers using 6 dice, simply multiply these odds together. That is 1 in 6 times 5 in 36 times 4 in 36, or 30 in 7776. Reducing that to lowest common fraction, you get 5 in 1296.(This calculation assumes that the three pairs are different. If two or three of the pairs are allowed to be the same, the computation is different.)
What is the expected number if you roll a die three times?
The expected value if you roll a die three times is 3.5.
What are the odds of rolling a 5 with just one roll of a die?
on a 6-sided die theres a 1/6 chance
What are the odds of rolling a 1 in dice?
The probability of rolling a 1 on a die is 1/6 if you roll it once.
What are the odds of rolling 6 of any specific number using 6 dice in one roll?
The odds of rolling any specific number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6. Each die is unrelated, so the odds of rolling the same specific number using six dice in one roll is 1 in 6 to the 6th, or 1 in 46,656.
What are the odds of rolling any three pair of numbers using 6 dice?
The odds of rolling any number in one roll of one die is 1 in 1. The odds of rolling the same number in one roll of one die is 1 in 6.

What are the odds in favor of rolling a 2 or 3 on a single roll of a fair die?
One in every three.
What is the expected number if you roll a die three times?
The expected value if you roll a die three times is 3.5.
What are the odds of rolling a 5 with just one roll of a die?
on a 6-sided die theres a 1/6 chance
What are the odds of rolling a 1 in dice?
The probability of rolling a 1 on a die is 1/6 if you roll it once.
What are the odds of rolling an even number when using a die?
one half.
What are the odds of getting a number greater than 4 on a dice?
On a single roll of a fair die, the probability is 1/3.
If two dice are thrown what is the probability of the sum of the numbers being a seven or an eleven?
To roll a 7, it doesn't matter what your first die rolls at, as every number on the die has a complement that will add up to 7. This means that your odds on rolling 7 are actually your odds on rolling the appropriate number on the second die. ie. 1/6. No matter what your first die is, the second can potentially give you a number that brings the total to 7. To roll an 11 however, your odds are not as high. This is because you must roll a five and a six to hit 11. Your first die can be either of the two, but your second die must be it's complement. In this case then, your odds are 2/6 * 1/6, or 1/18.
What are the odds of rolling a six sided die and getting a three?
One in Six
What are the odds of throwing a six on a dice two times?
If you roll the die often enough, it is certainty. On just two rolls and if the die is fair, the probability is 1/36.
What is the probability of rolling 7 with 2 dice?
1:6. It's easy to see why if you think about it a certain way... First, roll one die. Whatever number you roll, there is exactly one number you can roll on the other die to total seven. The odds that you'll roll that one other number is 1:6 (because the die has 6 sides).
