This depends on if you want at least two of the dice to be the same number, or exactly two of the dice to be the same number.
For the first scenario: Roll the first die, and get a number. Roll the second die, and there is 1/6 chance that it'll be the same as the first one. Now if it's not the same (5/6 chance) then the third die has 1/6 chance of being the same as the first, and 1/6 chance of being the same as the second. So we have:
1/6 + 5/6*(1/6 + 1/6) = [simplified] 4/9 or about 44.44%chance that at least two are the same.
For the second scenario: With three dice, there are 216 possible outcomes (6 x 6 x 6). So we know that there is a 4/9 chance that 2 or more will be the same: (4/9)*216 = 96 outcomes. Now 6 of these outcomes will have all three dice the same, so subtract 6 from 96 = 90. There is a 90/216 = 5/12 or 41.67% chance that exactly two dice are the same.

What is the probability of rolling the same number when three number cubes are rolled?
The first roll doesn't matter for probability, it just sets the number to be rolled by the other two. So: P(rolling the same number three times) = P(rolling a particular number)2 = (1/6)2 = 1/36
When three dice are rolled what is the probability that at least two of the dice have the same value using Matlab?
The probability is 1 and you do not need Matlab to get that answer - only a little bit of thought.
If five dice are rolled simultaneously what is the probability of getting 5 of a kind in a single roll?
If we are thinking of getting a '6', here are the odds. Wth one dice, its 1 in 6. So,with two dice its 1 in 216 with three dice its 1 in 7776 with four dice its 1 in 279936 with five dice its a huge 1 in 10077696
What is the probabality of flipping three heads when flipping three coins one after another?
The probability of flipping three heads when flipping three coins is 1 in 8, or 0.125. It does not matter if the coins are flipped sequentially or simultaneously, because they are independent events.
What is the probability of rolling doubles three time in a row After rolling a dice 250 times?
the chances of rolling doubles once is 1 in 6; 3 times in a row it is 1 in 216. It does not make any difference after how many times you rolled the dice before.
What is the probability of rolling the same number when three number cubes are rolled?
The first roll doesn't matter for probability, it just sets the number to be rolled by the other two. So: P(rolling the same number three times) = P(rolling a particular number)2 = (1/6)2 = 1/36
What is the probability of getting a sum of 3 when three number cubes are rolled?
If the number cubes are standard dice cubes, the odds of rolling 3 ones is 1 in 216.
What is the probability of rolling 6 and four in backgammon three times in a row?
The answer depends on how many times in total the dice are rolled. As the total number of rolls increases, the probability rolling a 6 and 4 three times in a row increases towards 1.
A die is rolled three times what is the probability of rolling three ones?
(1/6)^3 since each event is independent and each has a probability of 1/6.
If a dice is rolled three times what is the probability of rolling a 3 each time?
50% chance
A dice is rolled three times the probability of getting at least one odd number is?
Possible outcomes of one roll = 6.Probability of an even number on one roll = 3/6 = 0.5 .Probability of an even number on the second roll = 0.5 .Probability of an even number on the third roll = 0.5 .Probability of an even number on all three rolls = (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = 0.125 = 1/8The probability of at least one odd number is the probability of not gettingan even number on all 3 rolls. That's (1 - 1/8) = 7/8 or 0.875 or 87.5% .
A dice is rolled three times in succession what is the probability of rolling three sixes?
The probability of rolling a six is one in six. The probability of rolling three consecutive sixes is one in 216. (1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216)
When three dice are rolled what is the probability that at least two of the dice have the same value using Matlab?
The probability is 1 and you do not need Matlab to get that answer - only a little bit of thought.
If a game there are two fair number cubes that are rolled To make the first move you need to roll a total of 6 or 7 or 8 What is the probability that you will be able to make the first move?
Three out of twelve
When you roll three number cubes what is the probability that all three numbers will match?
The probability is 1/36
What is the probability of rolling a 3 when a number cube is rolled twice?
If you mean rolling at least one three, the 1/3. If you mean exactly one three, then 5/18. and If you mean a sum of 3 for the two throws, the answer is 1/18
A six-sided number cube is rolled three times. What is the probability of rolling a 4 all three times?
Assuming the die is a standard die with a different number from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} on each side, then: Probability_of_success = number_of_ways_of_success/total_number_of_outcomes There is only 1 way to roll a 4 and there are 6 possible outcomes, therefore the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6 The die has no knowledge of previous rolls; each roll is independent, thus: The probability of three fours is a row is the probability of a 4 times the probability of a 4 times the probability of a 4, which is: Probability = 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6 = 1/216
