The probability of getting 4 of a kind with 5 dice is: 6 5C4 (1/6)4 (5/6) = 0.0192901..
≈ 1.93%
Assuming that it is a fair die, the answer is 5/9.
uummm!!!! The probability would maybe close to 5 or 4. * * * * * The answer is clearly incorrect because the probability of an event cannot be greater than 1. The actual probability, assuming the dice are fair, is 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.11...%
the probability is 5/6
The probability of not rolling a sum of six with two fair dice is 1 minus the probability of rolling a sum of six. There are 36 permutations of rolling two dice. Of these, five sum to six, 1+5, 2+4, 3+3, 4+2, and 5+1. The probability, then of rolling a sum of six is 5 in 36. The probability, then of not rolling a sum of six is 31 in 36, or about 0.8611.
There are 216 permutations of three standard dice. Of these, there are exactly 10 that sum to 15, namely 3-3-6, 4-5-6, 4-6-5, 5-4-6, 5-5-5, 5-6-4, 6-3-6, 6-4-5, 6-5-4, and 6-6-3. The probability, then, of rolling a sum of 15 with three standard dice is 10 in 216, or 5 in 108, or about 0.04630.
If they are fair dice, the probability is 0.0032If they are fair dice, the probability is 0.0032If they are fair dice, the probability is 0.0032If they are fair dice, the probability is 0.0032
The probability, when the 2-dice total is 5, that one of the two dice shows a two is 1/2.

The probability of rolling the same number on five dice is (1/6)4, or about 0.0007716.
The probability of rolling 3 ones with 4 dice is:4C3 (1/6)3 (5/6) = 0.015432098... ≈ 1.54%

The are 36 permutations of two dice. Of these, 6 permutations have the two dice with the same number, specifically 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, 4+4, 5+5, and 6+6. The probability, then, that two dice rolled will not have the same number is 30 in 36, or 5 in 6, or about 0.8333.
