What is the probability of rolling at least one six with one roll of a pair of dice?

To find the probability of rolling at least one six with one roll of a pair of dice, we need to know two things. First we need to know how many different possible outcomes there are when we roll the dice one time. We know that there are 36 different possible outcomes. They are 1-1, 1-2, 1-3,..., 6-4, 6-5 and 6-6.
We also need to know how many different times at least one six can appear. These will include, 1-6, 2-6, 3-6, 4-6, 5-6, 6-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, and 6-5, for a total of 11 possible outcomes with at least one six. (Note that the 6-6 possible outcome is included in the list because it fits the requirement of "at least one six" with a given single pass of the dice.
The odds of rolling at least one six in one pass with a pair of dice are 11 in 36. To find the probability of this, we need to divide the 11 by the 36, and this gives us a probability of 11/36 or 0.3055555....
Remember that probability is a ratio, and it's the ratio of the number of possible times a given outcome can appear to the total number of possible outcomes that could appear. This ratio will range from zero to one, inclusive. A probability of zero means that a given outcome cannot occur. Like rolling a 13 with one pass of a regular pair of dice. That can't happen, so the probability of it happening is zero.
We also understand that if the probability of something happening is one, then that outcome must happen. Like the probability of rolling an odd or an even number. We know that an odd or an even number must appear, so the probability of that happening is one.

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.
What is the probability of rolling a 7 twice in two rolls of a pair of dice?
The probability of rolling 7 once with two dice is 1 in 6, o 0.1667. The probability, then, of doing that twice in a row is 1 in 36, or 0.02778.
What is the probability of two prime numbers when rolling two dice?
The probability of rolling two prime numbers on a standard pair of dice is 1 in 4, or 0.25. Take the probability of rolling a prime on one die, 3 in 6, or 1 in 2, or 0.5, and square it.
What is the probability of rolling a pair of dice and obtaining a total score of 9 or greater?
It is 5/18.
What is the probability of rolling a pair of dice and obtaining a total score of 9 or more?
It is 10/36 = 5/18
What is the probability of obtaining a sum of a least 4 when rolling a pair of dice?
11/12
When rolling a pair of dice what is the probability of rolling two?
The probability is 1/36.
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.
What is the probability of rolling the sum of two if you roll a pair of dice sixty times?
The probability of getting a sum of 2 at least once is 0.8155
What is the probability of rolling a sum of 8 on at least one of two rolls of a pair of number cubes?
The probability of rolling a sum of 8 on one roll of a pair of dice is 5/36.The probability of not rolling a sum of 8 on one roll of a pair of dice is 31/36.The probability of rolling a sum of 8 twice on two rolls of a pair of dice is(5/36)(5/36) = (5/36)2 .The probability of rolling first a sum of 8 and then rolling a sum that is not 8 on thesecond roll is (5/36)(31/36).The probability of rolling a sum that is not 8 on the first roll and rolling a sum of 8in the second roll is (31/36)(5/36).So The probability of rolling a sum of 8 at least one of two rolls of a pair of dice is(5/36)2 + (5/36)(31/38) + (31/36)(5/36) = 0.258487654... ≈ 25.8%.
What i the probability of not rolling a 5 n a pair of dice?
It is 0.69444... recurring.
What is the probability of rolling two fives on a number cube?
The probability of rolling two fives on a pair of dice is 1 in 36, or about 0.02778.
How many times would you have to roll a pair of dice to make double sixs a 50 percent probability?
If you roll a pair of fair dice 25 times, the probability of rolling a double six at least once is just above 50% (50.55%).
When rolling a pair of dice determine the probability of rolling a number less than 7?
5 over 11
What is the probability of rolling a 7 twice in two rolls of a pair of dice?
The probability of rolling 7 once with two dice is 1 in 6, o 0.1667. The probability, then, of doing that twice in a row is 1 in 36, or 0.02778.
When rolling a pair of fair dice what is the probability that the sum of the dice on one roll will be seven?
It is 6/36 = 1/6.
What is the probability of two prime numbers when rolling two dice?
The probability of rolling two prime numbers on a standard pair of dice is 1 in 4, or 0.25. Take the probability of rolling a prime on one die, 3 in 6, or 1 in 2, or 0.5, and square it.
