When two dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a total of 27?
If they are normal dice, the probability is 0.
When rolling five dice what is the probability that all 5 dice will be the same number?
The probability of rolling the same number on five dice is (1/6)4, or about 0.0007716.
What is the probability of getting a doublet in a single throw of two dices?
The probability of getting a number on the first dice and the same number on the second dice (e.g. a 3 and a 3) is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36. There are 6 ways of getting a doublet (i.e. a double 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5 or 6) so the total probability is 6 x (1/36) = 1/6.
What is a probability of getting a sum Nine when two dice are thrown?
Throwing two dice, there are a total of 36 combinations (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc.), each of which has the same probability. Of these, the following give a sum of nine: 3-6, 4-5, 5-4, 6-3. That makes four favorable cases, or a probability of 4/36.
If you roll two dice what are the odds that you get a one or a five?
I suppose you mean, at least one of those numbers. Just calculate the probability of NOT getting any of those, and take the complement. The probability of not getting a one nor a five on a single die is 4/6 or 2/3. For two dice, the probability is 2/3 x 2/3 = 4/9. So, the probability of getting at least a one or a five with two dice is 1 - 4/9 = 5/9.I suppose you mean, at least one of those numbers.
