There are 36 permutations of two dice. Of those, 9 add up to a sum of 5 or 6...

1 + 4 = 5

2 + 3 = 5

3 + 2 = 5

4 + 1 = 5

1 + 5 = 6

2 + 4 = 6

3 + 3 = 6

4 + 2 = 6

5 + 1 = 6

The probability, then, of rolling a 5 or 6 with two dice is 9 in 36, or 1 in 4, or 0.25.

What is the probability of rolling a 2 and then a 3 with 6-sised cubes?

The probability of rolling a 2 on the first roll is 1 in 6. The probability of rolling a 3 on the second roll is 1 in 6. However, the probability of rolling a 2 on the first roll and 3 on the second roll before you roll at all is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1 in 36.

What is the probability of rolling the same number when three number cubes are rolled?

The first roll doesn't matter for probability, it just sets the number to be rolled by the other two. So: P(rolling the same number three times) = P(rolling a particular number)2 = (1/6)2 = 1/36
