What is the probability of rolling two 2's on two six-sided die?
The chance is 1/36. (There are 36 possible combinations for two 6-sided dice, but only 18 separate combinations when the dice are not considered seperately.)
How many combinations can you roll using six dice?
Well, darling, when you roll six dice, there are a whopping 46,656 possible combinations. So, if you're feeling lucky, go ahead and roll the dice - just don't come crying to me if you don't get the combination you were hoping for!
Suppose you roll two dice Find the probability of rolling a sum of 5?
Assuming these are six sided dice, there should be 4 ways to roll a sum of 5. 1 + 4 = 5 4 + 1 = 5 2 + 3 = 5 3 + 2 = 5 There are 36 (6^2) possible combinations of rolling two six sided dice. That should mean 4 out of 36 rolls should give us a sum of 5 or reduced to 1/9.
When you roll four dice how many different number combinations could you roll that will total 14?
There are 8 different combinations.There are 145 permutations that total 14.Not asked, but answered for completeness sake; there are 1296 possible permutations of four dice, making the probability of a sum of 14 being 145 in 1296 or about 0.1119.
What is the probability of rolling an odd number on 1 roll of die?
With a single die:There are 6 sides on a dice.There are 3 sides that are odd (1, 3, 5)3/6 = 1/2 = 50%Therefore, a single die has a 50% chance of landing on an odd number.If you have two dice:I'll explain this the longer way, however there are short (and simpler explanations) that basically use the fact that a single die is 50%, therefore two independent dice will also be 50%.Number of dice = 2Sides of a dice = 6Odd sides: 1, 3, 5, so Number of odd sides on a dice = 3Even sides: 2, 4, 6, so Number of even sides = 3Total combinations with two 6 sided dice = (sides on dice x sides on dice) = 6 x 6 = 36We need to take the fact that:An odd number + an odd number = evenAn even number + an even number = evenAn odd number + an even number = odd
