The first number doesn't matter, just that the last three are the same as the first.
P(rolling the same as the number before) = 1/6
P(rolling the same number as the first three times = (1/6)3 = 1/216

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
When rolling five dice what is the probability that all 5 dice will be the same number?
The probability of rolling the same number on five dice is (1/6)4, or about 0.0007716.
What is the probability of rolling the same number twice?
In 2 rolls, it's 1/6 = 162/3% if you don't care what the number is.If you name the number you want before rolling, it's 1/36 = 27/9%.
Gary rolls a cube numbered from 1 to 6 What is the probability that he will not roll an even number greater than 3?
Gary's chances of rolling either a 4 or a 6 are the same for any of the other numbers on the cube. The probability is 1 out of 3.
What is the probability that you will spin a 4 and roll a 4?
Assuming each possible number on a spinner has the same probability and an unbiased die is being rolled, the answer depends on how many numbers are on the spinner, and how many times the number 4 appears on each.To find the probability, workout the probability of spinning a 4 on the spinner and the probability of rolling a 4 on the die; then as spinning the spinner has no effect on rolling the die, they are independent events and to get the probability of both happening multiply them together.The probability of success is the number of successful outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes, giving:Probability(spinning a 4) = how_many_4s_are_on_the_spinner / how_many_numbers_are_on_the_spinnerProbability(rolling a 4) = how_many_4s_are_on_the_die / how_many_numbers_are_on_the_dieProbability(spinning a 4 and rolling a 4) = Probability(spinning a 4) × Probability(rolling a 4)Examples:an octagonal spinner with the numbers 1-4 on it each twice and a tetrahedral die (as used in D&D games) with the numbers 1-4 on it→ pr(spin 4 & roll 4) = 2/8 × 1/4 = 1/16a decagonal spinner with the numbers 0-9 and a tetrahedral die with the numbers 0-3 on it→ pr(spin 4 & roll 4) = 1/10 × 0/4 = 0a decagonal spinner with the numbers 0-9 and a standard die with the numbers 1-6 on it→ pr(spin 4 & roll 4) = 1/10 × 1/6 =1/60

The probability of rolling the same number on five dice is (1/6)4, or about 0.0007716.
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.
What is the probability of rolling the same number when two dice are rolled?
1/6
What are the odds of rolling 6 same numbers in a six sided die?
The probability of rolling the same number six times on a standard die is (1 in 6)5 or 1 in 7776, or about 0.0001286. The reason the exponent above is five instead of six is that the probability of rolling "some" number on one die is 1, so you need to look at the probability of the other five dice matching the first die. It would not matter if you rolled one die six times, or six dice one time. The odds are the same.
What is the probability of having the same number when rolling a dice twice?
If it is a regular dice then the probability is 3/6 that is 1/2
What is the probability of rolling an even number on a die and rolling an odd number on a second roll of the same die?
0.25 ( P = 0.5 each time)
What is the prbability of rolling a five on one die three times in a row?
The chance is one in 216 (6^-3).The probability of rolling a five once is 1/6. Rolling a five again, on the same die or another, will still have a 1/6 chance. Therefore, the probability of the event occurring twice is 1/36 (1/6^2). Three times has a probability of 1/216 (1/6^3), and so on. It does not matter what die is used, as long as it has six sides.The probability p of rolling a number x times consecutively on an s sided die isp=s^-x
When rolling a cube what is the probability of rolling a 1 and a 6 at the same time?
Well it depends on how many times you roll the cubes. since there's six sides, you multiply them by a number of time you're rolling. For example: 6x3=18. 2out of 18 or 1/9.
You roll a dice once what is the probability that you roll an even number?
The same as rolling an odd number... 1:2 or 50% chance.
What are the odds of rolling doubles with one die in 25 rolls?
I'm going to assume you mean rolling the same number twice in a row in 25 rolls. The first won't cause a double, so you just need to consider the odds of rolling the same number as the last for the last 24 rolls. The easier approach is to realize that the probability of rolling at least one double is 1 minus the probability of rolling no doubles. One roll has this probability of not rolling the same as the last: P(different number from last) = 5/6 Since they are independent events: P(no doubles in 25 rolls) = (5/6)24 Now the final probability, of at least one double, is 1 - (5/6)24
What would be the experimental probability of rolling a die 50 times and getting 4?
The experimental probability can't be predicted. If it could, then there wouldn't be any reason to do experiments. The probability of rolling a die 50 times depends on how passionately you want to see what's going to happen if you do. There are six different ways a single die can come up on each roll. So the probability of rolling any particular number between 1 and 6 on each roll is 1/6 or (16 and 2/3) percent. If it isn't, then the die isn't a fair die. The die has no memory, so the probability of any particular number is the same on every roll, even if the same number has or hasn't come up on the previous 100 or 1,000 consecutive rolls. If the probability of any outcome depends on what has come before, then the laws of probability aren't operating, and it's not an honest game.
