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.

When rolling one die 12 times what is the probability of rolling a 2?

The probability of rolling at least one 2 when rolling a die 12 times is about 0.8878. Simply raise the probability of not rolling a 2 (5 in 6, or about 0.8333) to the 12th power, getting about 0.1122, and subtract from 1.

What is the probability of getting 4 dots on top in rolling two dice?

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.


What is the probability of obtaining at least one head when a coin is flipped four times?

The probability of obtaining 4 tails when a coin is flipped 4 times is: P(4T) = (1/2)4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 Then, the probability of obtaining at least 1 head when a coin is flipped 4 times is: P(at least 1 head) = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16 = 0.9375


Right as a fraction and probability of rolling a three on a six sided dice?

The probability of NOT rolling a 3 with one die is 5/6 so the probability of NOT rolling a 3 with a roll of two dice is 25/36. The probability of rolling at least one 3 is 1–25/36=11/36, a bit less than 1/3.

A fair die is rolled 180 times what is the probability of rolling a six?

The probability of rolling a six is 1 out of 6, or 1/6. Now, perhaps your question is: If I roll a die 180 times, what is the probability of rolling a six at least once. This is the same as rolling a die 180 times and never once rolling a six. The probability is (5/6)180 which is 5.59 x 10-15.
