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.

What is the mathematical probability for each number on a dice if you roll the dice fifty times?

If the dice is 6 sided, the chances of rolling each number is about 17% (100/6) If the dice is 4 sided, the chances of rolling each number is 25% (100/4) Similarly, 8 sided = 12.5% 10 sided = 10% 12 sided ≈ 8% 20 sided = 5%

How many dots on a die?

There are many different shapes and sizes of dice. The typical die that you find in most board games has 6 sides and 6 numbers. There are also 6-sided dice that are made with only 3 options though, and there are 20 and 30 sided dice out there as well. There are also 4 sided dice, 8 sided, 10 sided, and 12 sided that are quite common. They have other (even odd) numbered dice, and other types of dice with math symbols or pictures on them instead of numbers. Or letter dice for word games sometimes.
