When you roll a dice what is the probability it will land on 1?
You cannot roll "a dice" because it is one die, many dice. If you roll an ordinary, 6 faced die, the probability that it will land on 1 is 1/6.
How many times do you roll a dice on a game board of 27 squares?
6
What is the chance a dice will land a 6?
1/6 or 50%
Can you use 2 dice for monopoly?
Yes, you can use two dice for Monopoly. The game traditionally uses two six-sided dice to determine movement around the board, allowing for a range of possible outcomes from 2 to 12. Rolling two dice adds an element of chance and strategy, as players can move further or land on different properties. If doubles are rolled, players get another turn but must be cautious, as rolling doubles three times in a row results in going directly to jail.
What are the Odds of rolling doubles?
Answer 1:The odds are very easy to calculate. Simply divide the number of "valid" rolls against all possible rolls. For ease, you can write down all possible combination for the 2 dice.1-1; 1-2; 1-3; 1-4....and so on, remember 1-4 and 4-1 are different rollsThere are 36 unique possible combination, and 6 of them are doubles, so that's 6/36 chances (and since 6 goes into 36, 6 times, this reduces to 1/6) or about 17%Answer 2:Another way to look at this problem, generically, is to assume we have an 'n' face dice. In most cases, dice have 6 faces (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). But why not create a solution that works for any number of sides? Well, if we are trying to calculate the probability of rolling two dice (dice-1 and dice-2) of 'n' sides at the same time and having them turn up as doubles, only one of the dice really matters. Here's why. Dice-1 is guaranteed to land on a number 1-n. This will happen every time (on a fair dice, disregarding freak incidents). What we are trying to calculate is the probability that dice-2 will land on the SAME number as dice-1. Dice-2 can only land on one of 'n' values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... , 'n'. For you non math folks, this just means it must land on a number from 1 to 'n' where 'n' is the number of sides on your dice. Out of all of the sides that dice-2 can PHYSICALLY land on, one of the sides MUST necessarily have the same as the value that dice-1 landed on. That is to say, if dice-1 landed on the value 3, there must be some chance that dice-2 will also land on the value 3. The probability of this occurring on a fair die is 1 divided by the total number of possible outcomes, which would be 'n'. So, really, there is a 1/n chance that dice-2 will land on the same number as dice-1. Thus, our probability for rolling doubles is simple 1/n. For our 6 sided dice example, our dice-1 lands on some value between 1 and 6 and there is a 1/6 chance dice-2 will match it.
