When a standard pair of six sided dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a 6?
Two (6-sided) dice roll probability table
Roll a… | Probability |
---|---|
4 | 3/36 (8.333\%) |
5 | 4/36 (11.111\%) |
6 | 5/36 (13.889\%) |
7 | 6/36 (16.667\%) |
What is the probability of getting a sum of 13 in rolling two dice?
0
So getting a sum of 13 is an impossible event. Hence, the probability is 0.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of 3 on a pair of die?
One can get a sum of 3 in two ways: (1,2) or (2,1). These are two of the 36 possible rolls, so the probability is 2/36 or 1/18 or 5.55\% making the usual assumptions (unbiased dice, outcomes on the two die are independent). Each die can roll one of six possible results.
When rolling a pair of dice What is the probability of rolling a sum less than 10?
so I wrote out all the possabilities of combinations of 10 or higher. That totals 8 combination out of 36 that could be ten or higher, so 8/36= 2/9. since I wanted less than ten 1-(2/9) = 7/9 probability of getting less than 10.
What is the probability of not getting a sum of 7 if a pair of dice is rolled?
5/6
P(not getting a sum of 7) = 5/6.
What is the probability that the sum of the numbers on two six sided dice is even when they are rolled?
Well, for every integer n there are exactly 3 even numbers in the set of possible outcomes: {n+1,n+2,n+3,n+4,n+5,n+6} and all outcomes are equiprobable. So the answer is 36=0.5. For n you can take anything you like. Also a random n will do, like the sum of one, two (or more) dice.
When two six sided dice are rolled what is the probability of rolling a total of 5?
Each dice has six combinations which are independent. Therefore the number of possible outcomes will be 6*6 = 36. The probability of rolling a pair of dice whose numbers add to 5 is 4/36 = 1/9.
