There are 6 outcomes on a die roll (1,2,3,4,5,6); 5 & 6 constitutes 2 of them so the probability is 2/6 or 1/3.

What is the probability of rolling a die and getting a 5 or 6 on a single throw?
.33333333333333333
If you throw a dice 6 times What is the chance you would get a 6 on?
First calculate the probability of NOT getting a six. This probability is 5/6 x 5/6 ... x 5/6, i.e., (5/6) to the power 6. Then subtract 1 minus this probability. This gives you the probability of getting at least one six.
What is the probability of getting sum 8 if you throw two dice?
You can get 8 with (2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3) or (6, 2), each with a probability of (1/6)*(1/6) = 1/36 The the total probability is 5/36 = 0.1388... recurring.
What is the probability of getting an odd number when rolling a single 6-sided die?
There are 3 odd numbers, 1, 3 and 5 so the probability of getting an odd number is 3 out of 6 or 1/2. This can also be written as .5 of course.
What is the probability of rolling a die and getting a number less than 5 on a single roll?
Two thirds (2/3)

What is the probability of getting at least one 6 in a single throw of 3 unbiased dice?
1-(5/6 x 5/6 x5/6)
If you throw a dice 6 times What is the chance you would get a 6 on?
First calculate the probability of NOT getting a six. This probability is 5/6 x 5/6 ... x 5/6, i.e., (5/6) to the power 6. Then subtract 1 minus this probability. This gives you the probability of getting at least one six.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of six or doubles?
It is 10/36 = 5/18 in a single throw of a pair of dice.
What is the probability of getting a 5 on a single roll?
For a 6 sided die, each number 1 - 6 has equal probability. So, probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.
What are the chances of getting tails at least twice if you throw a coin four times?
.5 or 50% probability (if not counting draws)
What is the probability of rolling a six-sided dice twice and coming up with at least one number 5?
First calculate the probability of NOT getting a single 5. This probability is 5/6 x 5/6 = 25/36. Therefore, the probability of getting at least one 5 is the complement thereof, that is, 1 - 25/36 = 11/36.
What is the probability of getting a doublet in a single throw of two dices?
The probability of getting a number on the first dice and the same number on the second dice (e.g. a 3 and a 3) is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36. There are 6 ways of getting a doublet (i.e. a double 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5 or 6) so the total probability is 6 x (1/36) = 1/6.
What is the probability of getting sum 8 if you throw two dice?
You can get 8 with (2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3) or (6, 2), each with a probability of (1/6)*(1/6) = 1/36 The the total probability is 5/36 = 0.1388... recurring.
What is the probability of getting an odd number when rolling a single 6-sided die?
There are 3 odd numbers, 1, 3 and 5 so the probability of getting an odd number is 3 out of 6 or 1/2. This can also be written as .5 of course.
What is the probability of rolling a die and getting a number less than 5 on a single roll?
Two thirds (2/3)
What is the probability of rolling two fair six sided dice and getting a total of six?
5/36 in a single roll.
