There are 36 different outcomes possible when you toss two dice. What is the probability that the two dice will show the same number?

There are 6 different doubles that can be rolled. (They are 1 and 1, 2 and 2, etc.) You have a 6/36 chance of rolling doubles. The fraction 6/36 simplifies (reduces) to 1/6. Your 1 in 6 chance of rolling doubles now needs to be converted to probability. Probability speaks to the "chance" that something will occur. It is expressed as a "pure" number, and the range of probability is from 0 to 1. The probability 0 means that it cannot occur, and the probability 1 means that it will or must occur. Everything else falls in between. If you have a 1 in 6 chance of rolling doubles that translates into a 1 divided by 6 probability, or a 0.1666666... probability that a double will come up.

What does theoretical probability mean?
It's the number of favorable outcomes & the number of possible outcomes.
For a given event what is the result of dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes?
Probability
A six-sided cube is rolled Find the probability of rolling a six?
Probability = (number of successful outcomes) / (number of possible outcomes)Possible outcomes: 6Successful outcomes: 1Probability = 1/6 = 16 and 2/3 percent.
Probability can be defined as a between the number of successes and number of possible outcomes?
ratio
What in an event is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes?
That's the 'probability' of a favorable outcome.but only if the outcomes are equally likely.
What is the equation of probability?
The probability of an event occurring can be found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (what you want to happen) by the number of possible outcomes number of favorable outcomes probability = _________________________ number of possible outcomes
How do you find probability from a probability generating function?
you ether use a graph tree diagram or web diagram to answer the possible outcomes of the question possible outcomes meaning the number of outcomes the person will have in the probability or divide the number of favourable outcomes by the number of possible outcomes favorible outcomes meaning the number of outcomes all together
Do you divide to find the probability?
Yes, you divide the number of expected outcomes by the number of possible outcomes in order to determine probability.
What term define the number of possible outcomes?

Probability = (number of successful outcomes) / (number of possible outcomes)Possible outcomes: 6Successful outcomes: 1Probability = 1/6 = 16 and 2/3 percent.
Why are the With Replacement and Without Replacement probabilities different?
Because with replacement, the total number of possible outcomes - the denominator of the probability ratio - remains the same. Without replacement the number of possible outcomes becomes smaller.
Probability can be defined as a between the number of successes and number of possible outcomes?

What in an event is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes?
That's the 'probability' of a favorable outcome.but only if the outcomes are equally likely.
Probability of tossing a 5 in a number cube?
The probability of an event is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. What is the total number of possible outcomes of tossing a number cube? 6 How many outcomes are favourable to the event of getting a five? 1 So the prob is 1/6 or 0.16667
Probability can be defined as a ratio between the number of and number of possible outcomes?
yes it can be defined more commonly as a ratio between the number of and numbr of possible outcomes
