What is the prbability of rolling a five on one die three times in a row?

The chance is one in 216 (6^-3).The probability of rolling a five once is 1/6. Rolling a five again, on the same die or another, will still have a 1/6 chance. Therefore, the probability of the event occurring twice is 1/36 (1/6^2). Three times has a probability of 1/216 (1/6^3), and so on. It does not matter what die is used, as long as it has six sides.The probability p of rolling a number x times consecutively on an s sided die isp=s^-x


A fair coin is tossed ten times in a row. What is the probability that heads comes up exactly five times?

it is a fair chance so 1/2 :P


If a fair coin is tossed ten times what is the probability of getting five heads?

The probability of getting five heads out of 10 tosses is the same as the probablity of getting five tales out of ten tosses. One. It will happen. When this happens, you will get zero information. In other words, this is the expected result.


What is the probability of observing exactly one 3 when rolling a fair die five times?

Same as for rolling 5 dice at the same time, namely 5 x 1/6 x (5/6)4 This is the second last term in the expansion of (a + b)5 where a is the probability of a die falling at 3 (ie 1/6) and b is the probability of it not falling at 3 (ie 5/6) and the various terms of the expansion correspond to the various combinations : a5 + 5a4b + 10a3b2 + 10a2b3 + 5ab4 + b5. Which of course adds up to 1 when you allow all possibilities, not just one 3.


You are tossing a coin and throwing a die What is the probability of tossing head or tail and throwing a number greater than 4?

Firstly, the probability when tossing a coin and getting a head or tail is 1/2, then rolling a die, there are 6 sides so the chance of rolling any number is 1/6, there are 2 chances of rolling greater than 4 ie 5 and 6, so the probability of rolling a 5 or 6 in 1/3, as these are independent events you multiply the probability getting a heads of tails, (1/2) by the probability of rolling a five or six, (1/3) which gives you 1/6 or 0.1666 recurring.

Is it true that the probability of rolling a six with a fair die five times in a row is?

The probability of rolling a six with a standard die five times in a row is (1 in 6)5 which equals 1 in 7776 or about 0.0001286.


What is the probability of not rolling sum of 6 with two fair dice?

The probability of not rolling a sum of six with two fair dice is 1 minus the probability of rolling a sum of six. There are 36 permutations of rolling two dice. Of these, five sum to six, 1+5, 2+4, 3+3, 4+2, and 5+1. The probability, then of rolling a sum of six is 5 in 36. The probability, then of not rolling a sum of six is 31 in 36, or about 0.8611.

What is the probability of rolling a number less than five on a standard number cube?

There is a 4 in 6 (or 2 in 3) probability of rolling a number less than a five on a standard number cube.


When rolling a sixsided die a possible event is rolling a sum which is a multiple of 5 What is the probability of this event?

The probability of rolling a multiple of five on a standard die is 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.The probability of rolling a 10, 15, or higher is zero, because the question implied only one die.
