probability of throwing a '6' on a single die: 1/6probability of throwing six on a pair of dice: 5/36
The experimental probability for the die in question is 12/80 = 0.15
It is 0.347, approx.
You have more chance with two dice rolled together ! The Probability of throwing a six with one dice is 1/6. The probability of throwing one six with two dice is 2/6 or 1/3. You're twice as likely to score a six if you're throwing two dice.

Depends on the dice! There are six sides on a dice. The number 1 is on on out of the six sides to the probability of getting a one is 1/6 which is equal to .16666 or 16.6%
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.
A normal die is a six faced cube, so the probability of each face coming up is one in six and there are six possible outcomes. If you throw two dice, then there are 36 (6x6) possible outcomes, and you would simply divide the desired result set by the possible result set. For instance, the probability of throwing a 12 is 1 in 36, while the probability of throwing an 11 is 2 in 36 or 1 in 18 because there are two ways to throw the 11. Similarly, the probability of throwing a 7 is 6 in 36 or 1 in 6, because there are 6 different ways to throw a 7. Continuing with more and more dice, it is a simple matter of counting and arithmetic.

A die can come up showing numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 and the probability of any number coming up is the same - one out of six. The chance of throwing a three is one out of six. In maths, this is called the probability of throwing a three, and given as a fraction of one, in this case one sixth 1/6. Chance and Probability mean the same thing, but chance is usually given as one out of six or two out of three or fifty/fifty for example. Probability is a mathematical thing and given as a fraction.A probability of 0 means no chance at all and a certainty has a probability value of 1. A mathematical probability of 0.99 means there is a 99% chance of success, or 99 out of a hundred.
The probability of eventually throwing a prime number is 1. On a single throw, of a fair die, the probability is 1/2.
Assuming that the die is a regular 1 - 6 die, there is zero chance of you throwing an eight with a single six-sided die.
