Since there are 11 different outcomes it is possible that the first eleven throws are all different. But the 12th time you throw must repeat one of the previous results.

How many times must you throw 2 dice to be sure you get the same sum at least twice Working out please?

1 out of 6 * * * * * Total rubbish. There are 11 possible sums - the numbers 2 to 12. So if you throw the dice 12 times, the first 11 can be different but the 12th must be a repeat.


If 11 is the sum and you roll two dice what is the probability of getting 11 if you toss the dice 54 times?

The probability of getting 11 with one throw of 2 dice is 1/6*1/6*2 = 1/18 So the probability of not getting 11 with 1 throw of the dice is 17/18. Tossing the dice 54 times, the probability of not getting 11 54 times is (17/18)54 = 0.0456... So the probability of at least 1 roll of 11 is 1 - 0.0456 = 0.954


How many times must you throw two standard dice to be sure you get the same sum at least twice?

The probability of gettting a particular sum on a standard set of dice depends on which sum you are seeking. For example, the sums of 2 and 12 have a probability of 1 in 36, or about 0.0278; while the sum of 7 has a probability of 6 in 36, or 1 in 6, or about 0.167.Specifically answering the question; it is not possible to guarantee a particular outcome in a random throw, or in a series of random throws, of the dice. You can only talk about probability. Let's take the worst case of trying to throw a 2 or a 12. Even of you throw the dice 100 times, the probability is only 0.0278100, or about 2.34 x 10-156 that you will not throw the 2 or 12; so, the probability is extremely good that you will throw a 2 or 12 in 100 throws, but it is not guaranteed. That's the thing about probability.
