With n dice* the most common outcome can be found from:

most_common = 7n ÷ 2

If n is odd, this results in a fraction and there are actually two most common results which are the whole numbers either side of the fraction (eg with 3 dice, the most common value given above is 21/2 = 10½ which means that the most common value with 3 dice is 10 or 11 - both occur with the same frequency).

For two dice this gives:

most_common = (7 × 2) ÷ 2 = 7.

* As the word "dice" is the plural of the word "die", n > 1.

Using 3 dice what is the most common number to roll?

The most common number would be 10 and 11. When using 3 dice, the total sum of eyes must be between 3 and 18. The most probably number being rolled can be found simply by calculating the average of the highest and lowest possibilities. (3+18)/2 = 10,5 ; meaning 10 and 11 are the two most probable numbers to be rolled using 3 dice.

Using 2 dice is the most likely number to roll?

There are 21 possible combinations of 2 dice. The total with the most possible combinations is 7, which has three. (6+1,5+2,4+3) This is not right. By this logic 6 and 8 have equal chances of being rolled as I can roll a six through the numbers, 5-1, 4-2, 3-3. When counting the probability of a number to be rolled you have to assume the dice do not care the order in which they are rolled. That is to say, a roll of 5-2, and 2-5 are NOT the same. It is for this reason we find that 7 truly has many more ways a being rolled. 2-5, 5-2, 6-1, 1-6, 3-4, 4-3. While both 6 and 8 have less because one of their dice rolls cannot be counted twice the double roll. For six this is the 3-3 roll, and for eight its the 4-4 roll. That is why 7 is the most common roll on two dice.
