When rolling a standard six-sided die, each number from 1 to 6 has an equal probability of 1/6 of being rolled on any single throw. Therefore, no specific number will inherently come up more than others over a large number of rolls, as all outcomes are equally likely. However, in a small number of rolls, it's possible for one number to appear more frequently by chance. Over time and many rolls, the results will tend to even out, showing each number appearing about the same number of times.
If it's a six-sided die (like the kind used in craps and most dice games) the odds are 1 in 6.The probability of rolling a single number on any kind of die* is 1 ÷ (the number of sides).*Except, of course, for weighted, shaved, or otherwise illegal dice.
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.
Assuming you are only rolling one die, then each of the six numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6) has an equal chance (1 sixth) of landing face up.
Ten-sided dice are often used in games that require a "percentage roll", such as Dungeons & Dragons. Players roll two 10-sided dice, and the numbers rolled are used as digits to form a number between 0 and 99. Using a "0" instead of "10" simplifies this process. For most other games and instances, zeroes on ten-sided dice represent tens. Just FYI - some ten-sided dice do actually have a "10" instead of a "0", but they're fairly rare. I got 4 of them in a board game called Filthy Rich, which - ironically enough - uses numerous references to rolling zeroes instead of tens. Go figure.

The chance of rolling a certain number on a dice is 1/6, so the chance of rolling a 4 OR 5is 2/6. But if you have two dice you have the most chance of rolling a seven (6/36 or 1/6)
since there are 6 sides to it any of them could show up, 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 could all show up unlikely
2. This would be as a result of rolling a 1 on each of them.
If it's a six-sided die (like the kind used in craps and most dice games) the odds are 1 in 6.The probability of rolling a single number on any kind of die* is 1 ÷ (the number of sides).*Except, of course, for weighted, shaved, or otherwise illegal dice.
AnswerThe most likely number is seven.This can be 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1.Remember that dice have no memory - if you have rolled 7 three times in a row the odds of rolling another 7 does not change.this is all wrong don't listen that
The most probable result of rolling two dice is a sum of seven. The probability of rolling a seven is 1 in 6 or about 0.167.All of the other possible sums have decreasing probability, all the way down to 1 in 36 or about 0.0278 for a sum of two or a sum of 12.
The problem can be split into two parts, rolling a 12, or rolling a 4 or less. This can be further broken down to rolling a 2, rolling a 3, rolling a 4, or rolling a 12. P(rolling 4 or less, or 12) = P(rolling 4 or less) + P(rolling 12) = P(rolling a 2) + P(rolling a 3) + P(rolling a 4) + P(rolling a 12) = 1/36 + 2/36 + 3/36 + 1/36 = 7/36

Pass the Pigs is a dice game where players roll two small pig-shaped dice to earn points based on how the pigs land. The goal is to score the most points by rolling the pigs in different positions. Players take turns rolling the pigs and accumulating points until a predetermined score is reached.
