Rolling a single die:

Six values are possible. Only five is divisible by five; both three and six and divisible by three; making three possibilities. Therefore, the required probability is 3/6 = 0.5.

What is the probability of rolling a 2 on a die and then re-rolling the die and getting an even number?

The probability of rolling a 2 is 1 in 6. The probability of rolling an even number is 3 in 6. The probability of doing both, on two rolls, is 3 in 36, or 1 in 12.

What is the probability of rolling an odd number three times?

The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 (or rather, 1/2), so the probability of rolling an odd number three times in a row is 1/2^3 is 1/8 or 12.5%.


What is the theoretical probability of rolling an odd number?

The probability of rolling an odd number on a standard die is 3 in 6, or 1 in 2, or 0.5.


Rolling three dice what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

The probability that, when rolling three dice none will come up odd is broken down by the probability that on odd roll will occur as an independent event. Rolling the first die has a probability of 3/6 that it will be odd. Rolling the second has the probability of 3/6 that it will be odd. Rolling the third has a probability of 3/6 will be odd. Rolling three and coming up with odd is really the probability that no odd numbers occurred, so therefore an even number DID happen (3/6), and an even number DID happen (3/6), and an even number DID happen (3/6). That's really just 1 - (3/6^3) or simplified 1 - (1/2^3). So therefore the probability that an odd number occurred in 3 die rolls is about 87.5%.


What is the probability of rolling an even number or prime number on a number cube?

The probability of rolling an even number on a die is 3 in 6 or 1 in 2. The probability of rolling a prime on a die is 3 in 6 or 1 in 2, but one of those primes is also even. Simply add the probabilities and you find that the probability of rolling an even number or a prime on a die is 5 in 6.
