There is a 1in 36 chance of rolling 2, a 2 in 36 chance of rolling 3 and a 3 in 36 chance of rolling 4. So there is a 30 in 36, or 5 in 6 chance of rolling at least 5 with a pair of fair dice.
------------------------------------------------------------
There is only 1 way of scoring 2 (1 and 1).
3 can be scored 2ways (1 & 3 and 3 & 1)
4 is possible 3 ways (1 & 3; 3 & 1; 2 & 2)
5 has 4 ways (1 & 4; 4 & 1; 2 & 3; 3 & 2)
6 has 5 ways (1 & 5; 5 & 1; 2 & 4; 4 & 2; 3 & 3)
7 has 6 ways (1 & 6; 6 & 1; 2 & 5; 5 & 2; 3 & 4; 4 & 3)
8 has 5 ways;9 has 4 ways; 10 has 3 ways; 11 has 2 ways; 12 has only 1 way.
That totals 36 possible ways of scoring with two dice.
So score 2 has probability 1/6; 3 has probability 2/6 = 1/3; 4 has probability 3/6 = 1/2; 5 has probability 4/6 = 2/3.
We want to know the probability of scoring less than 5, which has 6 ways out of 36 = 1/6
Now, all the probabilities must total exactly 1, so the probability of scoring at least 5 must be 1 - 1/6 which is 5/6 = 0.83333333333 (the 3 reoccurs ) = 83.33333(recurring)% or just over 83%
11/12
50%. There are three dice; each die has 6 faces.
It is 0.9459
The probability is 1/36.
Rolling one die, it is 1/6. Rolling two dice, it is 2/6, which can be simplified to 1/3 or 33.33%.
11/12
50%. There are three dice; each die has 6 faces.
The best way to do this is to note that this is 1 minus the probability of obtaining a sum less than 6. The probability of obtaining a 2 is 1/36 (both dice get 1) The probability of obtaining a 3 is 1/18 (one dice gets 1, the other gets 2, or the other way around) The probability of obtaining a 4 is 1/12 (both dice get 2, or one dice gets 1 and the other 3, or the other way around) The probability of obtaining a 5 is 1/9 (one dice gets 2 and the other 3, or the other way around, or one dice gets 1 and the other 4, or the other way around) Adding these probabilities up gives 5/18. 1 minus this is 13/18 Thus the probability of obtaining a sum of at least 6 when rolling a pair of dice is 13/18.
With one roll of three dice, the probability is 7/8.
It is 5/18.
The probability of rolling at least one '1' with six dice is 66.5% [1-(5/6)^6]*100%
It is 1/12.
The probability of rolling a 4 in a die is 1 in 6, or about 0.1667. The probability, then, of rolling a 4 in at least one of two dice rolls is twice that, or 2 in 6, or 0.3333. The probability of rolling a sum of 4 in two dice is 3 in 36, or 1 in 18, or about 0.05556.
It is 0.9459
It is 10/36 = 5/18
When rolling one die, the probability of getting a 4 is 1 in 6, or 0.1667. If two dice are rolled, you get two unrelated chances of rolling at least one 4, so the probability is 2 in 6, or 0.3333.
The probability of rolling doubles with two dice is 1 in 6, or about 0.167.
