At least 2 sixes mean 2,3,4, or 5 sixes. This is the sum of the probability of 2 sixes + probability of 3 sixes etc. It is easier to look at the probability of 0 or 1 six and subtract that the sum of those two from 1. P( one six)=1/6 P(number other than six)=5/6 P( one six in 5 tosses)=(1/6)(5/6)^4=625/7776 P (no six in 5 tosses) the probability of not getting a 6 of the first toss is 5/6 Now if we do not get one on the first toss, we have 5/6 chance of not getting it again on the second, and the third etc. (5/6)^5=3125/7776 If we add these we have 3750/7756 which is the odds of exactly 0 or 1 six. 1-(3750/77756)=2003/3878 .516503 is the probability of at least 2 sixes in 5 tosses.

A dice is rolled three times in succession what is the probability of rolling three sixes?
The probability of rolling a six is one in six. The probability of rolling three consecutive sixes is one in 216. (1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216)
What is the formula to for the odds of rolling 3 six-sided dice and getting at least one 6?
-3
What is the probability of rolling a six on a number cube and then rolling another six?
Probability = favorable outcomes / total chances of outcome To find probability of two events happening favorably in succession (like you wanting to roll two sixes in a row), you simply multiply the probably of rolling both sixes together. Thus, (1/6) * (1/6) = 1/36 You have a 1 in 36 chance of rolling two sixes in a row

It is 0.1962
If you roll a die 60 times what is the probability you will roll a one or a six?
I'm assuming you're looking for the probability that you roll either a one or six at least once. So the problem can be rewritten as: 1 - probability of rolling 60 times and never getting ones or sixes = 1 - (2/3)^60
If a die is rolled 3 times what is probability or rolling at least one 6?
Probability(at least 1 six) = 1 - probability(no sixes) = 1 - 5/6 x 5/6 x 5/6 = 1 - 125/216 = 91/216 ≈ 0.421 = 42.1%
