With a fair die, it is 1/216 in three rolls, but the probability increases to 1 (a certainty) as the number of rolls is increased.

Probability that an event will not occur?
To find the probability that an event will not occur, you work out the probability that it will occur, and then take this number away from 1. For example, the probability of not rolling two 6s in a row can be worked out the following way:The probability of rolling two 6s in a row is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36Thus the probability of not rolling two 6s in a row is 1 - 1/36=35/36.
What is the probability of tossing a dice and getting 3 sixes in a row?
The probability of tossing a die and getting three 6's in a row is (1/6)3, or about 0.004630.
What is the probability is of getting 3 heads in a row if I toss the coin 10 times?
The probability of getting 3 or more heads in a row, one or more times is 520/1024 = 0.508 Of these, the probability of getting exactly 3 heads in a row, exactly once is 244/1024 = 0.238
A coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row?
The probability to get tails once is 1/2 (for a fair coin) The probability to get tails twice = the probability to get it once x the probability to get it a second time The probability to get tails 4 times in a row is (1/2)4=1/16 The probability to get tails n times in a row is (1/2)n=1/2n The same thing is also true for heads (same probability: 1/2 each time)
What is the probability of rolling 2 threes in a row with a single six sided die?
The probability of rolling a 3 with a standard die is 1 in 6. The probability of doing that two times in a row is 1 in 6 squared, or 1 in 36.
What is the probability of rolling 4 even numbers in a row on a 6 sided dice?
Even numbers: 2, 4, 6, the probability to get an ven number is 3/6 = 1/2 The probability to get 4 even number in a row is then (1/2)4 = 1/24 = 1 / 16 It is the same probability to get 4 odd numbers (1,3,5) in a row
What is the probability of having three girls in a row?
you have a 75% chance
What is the probability of getting two heads in a row followed by three tails in a row?
If you toss a coin often enough, it is a certainty, so that the probability = 1. The probability of that outcome in the first five tosses of a coin is (1/2)5 = 1/32.
What is the probability of a couple giving birth to five girls in a row?
Probability of girl, assumed to be 0.5. Therefore, probability of 5 girls is 0.5^5 or 0.03125.
What is the probability of picking two queens in a row in a deck of cards?
0.149
What is the probability of tossing a dice and getting three in a row?
3/18
When a fair coin is tossed 20 times in a row what is the probability that heads comes up 10 times in a row somewhere in the 20 tosses?
The probability of 10 heads in a row is (0.5)10 = 0.000977 = 0.0977% .It makes no difference what has come before or what comes after.
