well, there are 216 possibilities, 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216 so 216 possibilities. and there are 4 ways to get two or more fives, 155, 515, 551, and 555. so 4 out of 216 or 4/216, or 1/54. so there you go.

--- update ---

I disagree. There are 16 ways out of 216 possibilities, so the probability is 16/216 or 2/27. The ways can represent by x55, 5x5, 55x and 555, where x can be any of five numbers not equal to five.

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.


If a die is rolled 3 times what is probability of having a 5 appear at least 3 times in a row?
