There are 18 permutations or 5 combinations. And it is one die, many dice. There is no such word as dices or diceses.
With 2 dice, there are 36 outcomes Of those, a sum of 5 can be made in 4 ways (1 + 4, 2 + 3, 3 + 2, 4 + 1) ⇒ pr(5) = 4/36 = 1/9 ≈ 0.11 ≈ 11 %
There are 36 possible outcomes when throwing 2 dices : 6 for the first dice (1,2,3,...6) and 6 for the second dice Let say that in the sums below the first number is the result of the first dice and the second number is for the result of the second dice: 2 = 1 + 1: 1 possibility 4 = 2 + 2 = 1 + 3 = 3 + 1: 3 possibilities 6 = 1 + 5 = 5 + 1 = 2 + 4 = 4 + 2 = 3 +3: 5 possibilities 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 possibilities to get 2 or 4 or 6 So the probability to get a sum of 2 or 4 or 6 is 9/36=1/4 And the probabilty of NOT rolling a sum of 2 or 4 or 6 is 1-1/4=3/4
The probability of rolling two 6-sided dice and getting the same number on each is 1/32, or "one out of thirty two". This is because there are 6 oppurtunities on each dice, and the probability of getting the same of the 6 oppurtunites on two dice is 6 squared, which is 32.
The probability of rolling a total of 3 or less on two dice is 3 in 36 or 1 in 12.
