One out of 6 - yes but
- only in the long run
- if the number cube is perfectly even (i.e. not weighted) and
- thrown onto an unconstrained surface without bias or spin.
For example, you could improve your chances of throwing a 5 if you were able to roll the cube on its 5,1,2,6 surfaces - difficult but it would change the chances to a max of 1:4.
It might even be possible to spin a cube on its vertical axis with the 5 on top and just drop it on a surface and it remain 5-up and not bounce to another face - more possible with a heavy cube.

What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a roll of a single number cube?
The probability of rolling a 5 on a roll of a single number cube is 1/6 (0.1666) as there is only one number 5 on a total of 6 sides on the cube.
What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a number cube?
It is 1/6.
What is the probability of not rolling a 5 on a standard number cube?
46
What is the probability of a spinner of 20 landing on 5?
Probability of a spinner of 20 landing on 5 is 1/20.
What is the probability of a sum of 5 on a number cube?
The answer depends on how many times it is rolled.
What is the experimental probability of landing on 5 if a number cube is tossed twenty times and lands on 1 two times and lands on 5 four times?
The experimental probability of a number cube that lands on 5 four times in a twenty toss trial is Pexp(5) = 4/20 = 1/5 = 0.20 = 20%
What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a roll of a single number cube?
The probability of rolling a 5 on a roll of a single number cube is 1/6 (0.1666) as there is only one number 5 on a total of 6 sides on the cube.
What is the probability of not rolling a 4 on a number cube?
It is 5/6
What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a number cube?
It is 1/6.
What is the probability of not rolling a 5 on a standard number cube?
46
What is the probability of rolling a 5 with 2 number cube?
impossible.
What is the probability of a spinner of 20 landing on 5?
Probability of a spinner of 20 landing on 5 is 1/20.
What is the probability of a sum of 5 on a number cube?
The answer depends on how many times it is rolled.
When rolling a number cube once what is the probability of rolling a 5?
1 out of six
Which is the probability that a 1-6 number cube lands on a prime number?
The three prime numbers on the cube are: 2 3 and 5 so the probability is 3/6 or 1/2 simplified
What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a number cube and then flipping tails on a coin?
1/24
What is the probability of rolling a number less than 5 with one toss of a standard number cube?
Total numbers on the cube = 6 Numbers less than 5 = 4 Probability = 4/6 = 2/3 = 662/3 %
