Basic Single Die Probabilities

Rolling 1:16.67% (1/6)
Rolling 2:16.67% (1/6)
Rolling 3:16.67% (1/6)
Rolling 4:16.67% (1/6)
Rolling 5:16.67% (1/6)
Rolling 6:16.67% (1/6)

Two Dice Sum Probabilities

Sum = 2:2.78% (1/36)
Sum = 7:16.67% (6/36)
Sum = 12:2.78% (1/36)

Sum = 7 is the most likely outcome with two dice

Probability Tips

Each face of a fair die has 1/6 probability

Total outcomes = 6^(number of dice)

Sum of 7 is most likely with two dice

More dice = more complex probability calculations

Understanding 6-Sided Dice Probabilities

What is a 6-Sided Die?

A six-sided die is the standard cubic die with faces numbered 1 through 6. Each face has an equal probability of 1/6 (approximately 16.67%) when the die is fair. This is the foundation for all dice probability calculations.

Basic Probability Rules

  • Single die: P(any specific value) = 1/6
  • Multiple dice: outcomes multiply (6^n for n dice)
  • Independent events: probabilities multiply
  • Complementary events: P(A) + P(not A) = 1

Common Calculations

At Least One Success

P(at least one) = 1 - P(none)
Example: P(at least one 6 in 3 rolls) = 1 - (5/6)³ = 42.13%

Sum Probabilities

Uses combinations and dynamic programming
Example: P(sum = 7 with 2 dice) = 6/36 = 16.67%

All Same Value

P(all same) = 6 × (1/6)^n
Example: P(all 3s with 3 dice) = (1/6)³ = 0.46%

Probability Formula Reference

Basic Probability

P(event) = favorable outcomes / total outcomes

Complement Rule

P(not A) = 1 - P(A)

Independent Events

P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B)
