In probability terms how likely is rolling a double six on two dice?

Answer 1

It's true. 1 in 36, because there are thirty-six different combinations. 1,1.... 1,2.... 1,3.... and so on. The only one with two sixes is 6,6. And since there are six options for the first one and six for the second, you multiply and get thirty-six, only one option of which works. It would be way more complicated if you wanted something that added up to 9 or something.

Answer 2

Probability 1:36

Answer 3

It`s actually 1 in 35 to achieve a double six with two dice

Answer 4

1 in 21. Just add 1+2+3+4+5+6

Answer 5

1 in 36 on average although it may take a few more or less

every roll has a chance of 1 in 36 so after rolling once and not getting it the next roll's chances wont be 1 in 35

Answer 6

1 / 36th is correct.

There are 36 possible ways for two dice to be rolled, and only one of them comes out as double six.

Answer 7

It is impossible to roll double sixes on two different dice, provided you are referring to standard dice. The statement precludes you would have to roll two sixes on one die in one roll and also perform that impossible function on two dice, just makes the impossible that much harder.

In probability terms, it is impossible, because there is only one six on each die. Therefore you cannot roll double six on one die even!

Answer 8

1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36

Answer 9

1/36

Answer 10

1:36
