When two fair dice are rolled There are 36 possible outcomes How many possible outcomes would there be if three fair dice are rolled?
Three or More Dice
As it gets cumbersome to write the repeated multiplication, we can use exponents to simplify work. For two dice, there are 62 possible outcomes. For three dice, there are 63 possible outcomes. In general, if we roll n dice, then there are a total of 6n possible outcomes.
When two balanced dice are rolled There are 36 possible outcomes find the probability that either doubles are rolled?
There are 6 ways we can roll doubles out of a possible 36 rolls (6 x 6), for a probability of 6/36, or 1/6, on any roll of two fair dice.
How many possible outcomes are there when two dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a sum of 6 if two dice are rolled?
Answer: The probability of rolling a sum of 6 with two dice is 5/36.
What is the probability of 3 dice?
Two (6-sided) dice roll probability table
| Roll a… | Probability |
|---|---|
| 3 | 3/36 (8.333%) |
| 4 | 6/36 (16.667%) |
| 5 | 10/36 (27.778%) |
| 6 | 15/36 (41.667%) |
What is the probability of rolling a 2 with 2 dice?
Probabilities for the two dice
| Total | Number of combinations | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | 2.78% |
| 3 | 2 | 5.56% |

| 5 | 4 | 11.11% |
What are the odds of rolling 2 sixes?
So to get two 6s when rolling two dice, probability = 1/6 × 1/6 = 1/36 = 1 ÷ 36 = 0.0278, or 2.78 percent.
When two dice are tossed asynchronously What is the probability of getting the sum of 6?
Therefore probability of getting sum 6= 5/36.
