No. All of the permutations are equally likely, but the distinguishable combinations, and the permutations of the same sum are not. Take two dice, for instance. There are 36 permutations. The sums 2 and 12 each have only one permutation, so their probabilities are 1 in 36, each. The sum 7, however, has 6 permutations, 1-6, 2-5, 3-4, 4-3, 5-2, and 6-1, so the probability of a sum of 6 is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6.

How many odd sums can you get from rolling two dice?
There are 9 odd sums that you can get from rolling two dice.
What are the odds of getting a sum divisible by four by rolling 2 dice?
When rolling 2 dice there are 36 combinations that can occur. Sums will range from 2 to 12; sums divided by 4 are 4, 8, and 12 You can get this by dice combinations of 1 3 3 1 2 2 4 4 2 6 6 2 3 5 5 3 6 6 That is 9 ways. so odds are 9/36 = 1 in 4
When rolling two dice what is the probability of rolling a sum that is a multiple of 3?
The sums divisible by 3 are 3, 6, 9 and 12. These can be obtained in 2, 5, 4 and 1 ways respectively, giving 2 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 12 ways of success. There are 36 possible ways two dice can fall → probability = ways_of_success/possible_ways = 12/36 = 1/3.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of a 6 on two dice?
On two fair 6-sided dice: 5 out of 36 = 13.89%. Consider the two dice unique. Maybe one is black with white spots, and the other is white with black spots. There are 36 possible outcomes. You can make a table of the sums, and see that five of the outcomes have a sum of 6. Here they are:1+5, 2+4, 3+3, 4+2, 5+1
If you rolled two dice at the same time and summed the numbers what sums could you get?
Any number between 2 and 12.1+16+6
