You must notice that it is easier to find the probability that none of the dice are six. This is the complement of the answer. Pc= (55)/(65) = .4019 *the first die has 5 ways to not equal six, and so on for the remaining dice. [55] outcomes have no six. *the total number of outcomes gives each die 6 ways to fall. [65] outcomes overall. *Probability is the favorable outcome divided by the total number of outcomes.
*Probability of an event is 1 minus the complement of the event. P = 1 - .4019 P = .5981 <<<<<<FINAL ANSWER

If a die is rolled 3 times what is probability of getting an even number?
The probability of getting an even number on at least one of the 3 rolls is 7/8.
A pair of dice are rolled find the probability at least one dice is a 4?
When rolling one die, the probability of getting a 4 is 1 in 6, or 0.1667. If two dice are rolled, you get two unrelated chances of rolling at least one 4, so the probability is 2 in 6, or 0.3333.
What is the probability of flipping a head when you roll a coin 3 times?
If it is a fair coin, the probability of getting at least one Head from 3 flips is 7/8If it is a fair coin, the probability of getting at least one Head from 3 flips is 7/8If it is a fair coin, the probability of getting at least one Head from 3 flips is 7/8If it is a fair coin, the probability of getting at least one Head from 3 flips is 7/8
If you were to flip a coin 4 times what is the probability of getting heads at least one time?
As the question is "what is the probability of getting at least one head" the correct way to answer this is to ask what is the probability of not getting any heads and then subtract this from 1.The probability of not getting a head in 4 flips = 0.54 (i.e. 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5) = 1/16.Therefore the probability of getting at least one head is 1 - 1/16 = 15/16.
What is the probability of getting a least one tail when tossing eight fair coins?
The probability of getting at least 1 tails is (1 - probability of getting all heads) The probability of getting all heads (no tails) is ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ = 1/256 = 0.00390625 so the probability of getting at least ONE tails is 1-0.30390625 = 0.99609375 = 255/256

If a number cube is rolled 4 times what is the probability that the same number is rolled at least twice?
It is 0.722... recurring.

The probability is 0.6187, approx.
If sixteen dice are rolled what is the probability of rolling at least one six?

If 3 dice were rolled 1000 times what is the probability of rolling a 14?
The probability that 14 is rolled at least once is 1 - 5.5*10-32 which, for all intents and purposes, can be treated as 1.

The probability of getting at least one prime number in two dice is 3/4.
What is the probability of rolling at least two sixes when a fair six sided die is rolled 5 times?
It is 0.1962
What is the probability that a six is rolled exactly once if it is known that at least one six is rolled?
The answer depends on how many rolls. If there were n rolls, then the probability is n*(1/6)*(5/6)n-1/[1 - (5/6)n]
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.
