Typically, you purchase these in packs. When I purchased a pack a few years ago, it cost me approximately $10.00. It should be around this price if not a few bucks higher.
If the dice is 6 sided, the chances of rolling each number is about 17% (100/6) If the dice is 4 sided, the chances of rolling each number is 25% (100/4) Similarly, 8 sided = 12.5% 10 sided = 10% 12 sided ≈ 8% 20 sided = 5%
2 6-sided? 0% 2 10-sided? 7% 2 20-sided? 3.25%
With 2 6-sided dice, 100% chance, since the maximum roll is 12.
The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20. We can take 10 and 20 off the list, because they're not on the six-sided dice. So, 4 out of 6 sides of the dice will give us a factor of 20. That means we can expect (if the dice is fair) to get a factor of 20 about 4/6 of the time. 4/6 simplified is 2/3.
Assuming the sides are labelled one to twenty and that all sides are the same shsp and size and that the dice in not biased in any way, then there will be a 50% chance of getting an odd number.

There are many different shapes and sizes of dice. The typical die that you find in most board games has 6 sides and 6 numbers. There are also 6-sided dice that are made with only 3 options though, and there are 20 and 30 sided dice out there as well. There are also 4 sided dice, 8 sided, 10 sided, and 12 sided that are quite common.
