3 out of 36 possible rolls (1 & 3, 2 & 2, 3 & 1), so 3/36, or 1 out of 12.

What is the probability of throwing a total of six when you throw a pair of standard dice?
Possibilities for the first cube = 6 . Possibilities for the second cube = 6 . Possibilities for both cubes = 6 x 6 = 36 . Ways to throw a total of 6 = 5 ways . 1 . 5 2 . 4 3 . 3 4 . 2 5 . 1 Probability of throwing a total of 6 = 5/36 = 138/9% .
What is the theoretical probability of throwing a coin and it landing on heads?
Theoretical probability is the number of ways something can occur divided by the total number of outcomes. So, the theoretical probability of throwing a coin and it landing on heads is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%.
What is the probability of rolling two dice that total 20?
With standard dice, zero.
What is the probability of rolling a total of 10 with two dice?
In one throw, it is 3/36 or 1/12
What is the probability of a 5 not being rolled on a dice?
Probability is desired options over total options. There are 6 faces on a standard dice, so NOT rolling a 5 is 5/6.

What is the probability of throwing the dice and getting a total of 5 on the first throw and getting a total of 10 on the second throw?
You have not given any information about the shape and numbering of the dice nor how many are thrown each time. Without that information it is not possible to answer the question.
What is the probability to obtain in sum the numbers 7 and 13 by throwing 3 dice?
Probability(Total = 7) = 15/216 = 0.069 Probability(Total = 13) = 21/216 = 0.097

What is the probability of throwing 2 dice so that you have a total score of 5?
When you throw 2 6-sided dice, there are 36 ways they can come up. Of those, 4 (1 and 4, 2 and 3, 3 and 2, 4 and 1) total 5. So the probability is 4 chances in 36, or 1 in 9 (1/9 = 0.11111...)
What is the probability of rolling two dice that total 20?
With standard dice, zero.
What is the probability of rolling a total of 10 with two dice?
In one throw, it is 3/36 or 1/12
How do you find the probability of an event?
There are two main methods: the empirical method and the theoretical method. Suppose you want the probability of throwing a 6 on one roll of a die. Empirical method: Throw the die lots and lots of times and count the total number of throws as well as the number of throws that result in a 6. The probability of throwing a six is the number of times you get a 6 divided by the total number of throws. Theoretical method: A die is a cube with six equal faces. Assuming the die is fair, each face has an equal probability of turning up. There are no other outcomes possible (the probability of the die ending up on an edge or a vertex are assumed to be zero). So, there are six outcome, and each equally probable, so that each has a probability of 1/6.
What is the PROBABILITY of throwing 2 sixes with two dice?
This is an example of an INDEPENDENT event: The probability of throwing a double six with two dice is the result of throwing six with the first die and six with the second die. The total possibilities are, one from six outcomes for the first event and one from six outcomes for the second, Therefore (1/6) * (1/6) = 1/36th or 2.77%. The two events are independent, since whatever happens to the first die cannot affect the throw of the second, the probabilities are therefore multiplied, and remain 1/36th.
What is the probability of a 5 not being rolled on a dice?
Probability is desired options over total options. There are 6 faces on a standard dice, so NOT rolling a 5 is 5/6.
A card is picked at random from a standard deck What is the probability of a drawing card that is a red Ace?
Probability is the number of ways an event can occur divided by the number of total events. The number of ways a red ace can occur is 2 (ace of hearts, diamonds) and total number of events is 52 (standard deck has 52 cards). So the probability is 2/52 or 1/26.
With a throw of a pair of standard six-sided dice what is the most common total shown show?
Seven.
