Two dice can come up in any one of 36 ways.
You can roll a five with:
1 + 4
4 + 1
2 + 3
3 + 2
That's 4 ways out of the 36 possibilities.
The probability of a 5 is (4/36) = (1/9) = 0.1111... ≈ 0.111 = 11.1%
The probability of rolling a 5 on the second toss is also ≈ 0.111 = 11.1%
Honest dice have no memory; they don't know how the first toss came up.
The probability of getting a 5 on both the first and second rolls is (1/9)2 = (1/81) = 0.0123456789... ≈ 0.012 ≈ 1.2% (rounded)

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 two eight-sided dice are to be rolled On any roll what is the probability of getting two different numbers?
The first dice can show any of the eight numbers. If the dice are to show different numbers the second dice has 7 different numbers out of a possible 8 to chose from. So the probability is 7/8 or 0.875 or 87.5% chance.
What is the probability of getting a 2 on a dice?
1/6 A dice has six faces. And '2' is on one if its faces. So the probability of getting a 2 on a dice is 1 over 6.
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 that you will roll doubles on a pair of dice?
The probability that you will roll doubles on a pair of dice is 1 in 6. The probability that you roll "something" on the first die is 1 in 1. The probability that the second die will match the first die is 1 in 6. The resultant probability is simply the product of (1 in 1) and (1 in 6).
Two dice are thrown. What is the probability of getting the same number?
The first dice can show any number. However the second dice has a 1 in 6 chance of being the same as the first. Hence the probability of getting two numbers the same is 1/6.
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 getting 4 of a kind if 5 identical dice are tossed simulataneously?
If they are fair dice, the probability is 0.0032If they are fair dice, the probability is 0.0032If they are fair dice, the probability is 0.0032If they are fair dice, the probability is 0.0032
When two dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a total of 27?
If they are normal dice, the probability is 0.
What is the probability of throwing one dice twice and getting a 1 both times?
The probability of throwing a dice an getting a 1 is 1/6. The probability of gettinga 1 the second time is 1/6. The probability of both events, getting a 1 the firsttime and a 1 the second time is; P(1,1) =(1/6)∙(1/6) =1/36 =0.02777... ~ 2.8%
If two eight-sided dice are to be rolled On any roll what is the probability of getting two different numbers?
The first dice can show any of the eight numbers. If the dice are to show different numbers the second dice has 7 different numbers out of a possible 8 to chose from. So the probability is 7/8 or 0.875 or 87.5% chance.
What is the probability of rolling a dice and getting an odd number?
The probability of getting an odd number in a single throw of a fair die (not dice!) is 1/2.The probability of getting an odd number in a single throw of a fair die (not dice!) is 1/2.The probability of getting an odd number in a single throw of a fair die (not dice!) is 1/2.The probability of getting an odd number in a single throw of a fair die (not dice!) is 1/2.
What is the probability of getting a 2 or 12 on two dice?
The probability of getting a 2 or 12 on two dice is 2 in 36, or 1 in 18.
What is the probability of getting a 2 on a dice?
1/6 A dice has six faces. And '2' is on one if its faces. So the probability of getting a 2 on a dice is 1 over 6.
What is the probability of throwing the dice and getting a total of 5 on the first throw and getting a total of 10 on the second throw?
You have not given any information about the shape and numbering of the dice nor how many are thrown each time. Without that information it is not possible to answer the question.
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.
