If the question is: What are the odds of rolling a die with a 6 when rolling two
dice ? . Answer: There are 36 outcomes when rolling a pair of dice, 10 of them
have a die with a single 6 and 1 of them has two 6. So the probability of rolling
one die with a 6 when rolling a pair of dice is P =
10/36 =
0.2777... . The odds
would be (10 to 26) 5 to 13.
If the question is: What are the odds of rolling a sum of 6 when rolling two dice ?
Answer: there are 5 outcomes out of the 36 that give the sum of 6. They are;
(1,5), (5,1), (2,4), (4,2), and (3,3). So the probability for this event is P =
5/36 =
0.13888... . The odds would be 5 to 31.

The odds of rolling a 7 are 1/6. The odds of rolling two in a row are 1/36. The odds of rolling an 11 are 1/18. The odds of rolling two in a row are 1/324. The odds of rolling doubles are 1/6. The odds of rolling double twice in a row are 1/36.
Rolling 2 twice in a row in the first two rolls is 1/6*1/6 = 1/36. But rolling 2 twice eventually is as close to certainty as you can get.
The probability of rolling a 4 in a die is 1 in 6, or about 0.1667. The probability, then, of rolling a 4 in at least one of two dice rolls is twice that, or 2 in 6, or 0.3333. The probability of rolling a sum of 4 in two dice is 3 in 36, or 1 in 18, or about 0.05556.
It would be 1/6 with 1 dice. To get 5 out of FIVE it would be 1/6 X 1/6 x 1/6 X 1/6 X 1/6 = 1/7776 odds. 4/5 would be 1/216
The probability of rolling a 7 with 2 dice is 6/36; probability of rolling an 11 is 2/36. Add the two together to find probability of rolling a 7 or 11 which is 8/36 or 2/9.
