To determine the probability of getting any number with 2 six sided dice you need two pieces of information
First consider all the possible ways to achieve a sum of 7.
7 is the most common roll based on probability. You can achieve it 6 different ways.
There are 36 possible number combinations when you roll 2 normal 6 sided die.
6/36 is the probability of rolling a 7. Simplify this fraction to 1/6.
So out of every 6 rolls there should be at least one 7 rolled based on normal probability.

∙ 13y agoNumber of possibilities with one cube = 6
Number of possibilities with 2 cubes = 6 x 6 = 36
Number of ways to roll a 7 = 6
1, 6
2, 5
3, 4
4, 3
5, 2
6, 1
Probability of rolling a 7 = (number of successes) / (number of possibilities)
= 6/36 = 1/6 = (16 and 2/3) %

What is the probability of tossing a dice and getting three in a row?
3/18
What is the probability of tossing a dice and getting 3 sixes in a row?
The probability of tossing a die and getting three 6's in a row is (1/6)3, or about 0.004630.
What is the probability of tossing two 6-sided die three times and getting an even number all three times?
The probability of getting an even sum on two dice is 18 in 36 or 1 in 2 or 0.5. The probability of doing that three times in a row is 0.53 or 0.125.
If you toss a dice once what is the probability that 1 will come out?
"A" is singular, "dice" is plural. One "dice" is a "die". Tossing one six sided die means the odds of the number 1 displaying is 1 out of 6. Tossing two six sided dice means the odds of the number 1 displaying is zero, as at a minimum it will be 1 and 1, or 2.
When tossing 2 dice what is the probability of tossing a prime number?
There are 36 possibilities when rolling two six sided die. 15 of them result in a prime number (2,3,5,7,11) So the probability is 15 in 36 or a 5 in 12 chance.
What is the probability of tossing an eight sided dice with numbers one through eight and getting an even number greater than or equal to four?
It is 0.375
What is the probability of tossing a coin and landing on heads and rolling 5 on a single fair 6 sided dice?
the probability of tossing a coin and it landing on head is a 1 in 2 chance the probability of rolling a 5 on a dice is a 1 in 6 chance

What is the probability of getting an even number with a six sided dice?
It is 0.5
What is the probability of tossing two 6-sided die three times and getting an even number all three times?
The probability of getting an even sum on two dice is 18 in 36 or 1 in 2 or 0.5. The probability of doing that three times in a row is 0.53 or 0.125.

What is the probability of getting a sum of six on a six sided dice?
5/36
What is the probability of getting an even number on a six sided dice?
The probability of getting an even number on a six sided dice is 3 out of 6 or one half because the only even numbers are 2,4,6 (which are all even).
When tossing 2 dice what is the probability of tossing a prime number?
There are 36 possibilities when rolling two six sided die. 15 of them result in a prime number (2,3,5,7,11) So the probability is 15 in 36 or a 5 in 12 chance.
The probability of tossing a coin and getting a tail and rolling a dice and getting a four?
It is (1/2)*(1/6) = 1/12
If 11 is the sum and you roll two dice what is the probability of getting 11 if you toss the dice 54 times?
The probability of getting 11 with one throw of 2 dice is 1/6*1/6*2 = 1/18 So the probability of not getting 11 with 1 throw of the dice is 17/18. Tossing the dice 54 times, the probability of not getting 11 54 times is (17/18)54 = 0.0456... So the probability of at least 1 roll of 11 is 1 - 0.0456 = 0.954
