Conduct the following experiment:
Roll a number cube 50 times.
Count the number of times you roll a 2.
Divide that number by 50.
That is the experimental probability.
The answer that I might get may well be different to yours. And if you do you experiment another time, the answer is likely to be different.

What is the probability of rolling the same number when three number cubes are rolled?
The first roll doesn't matter for probability, it just sets the number to be rolled by the other two. So: P(rolling the same number three times) = P(rolling a particular number)2 = (1/6)2 = 1/36
What is the probability that the number rolled will be less than 6?
The probability of rolling a number less than 6 on a die would be 5/6.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of 10 or a sum that is an odd number when two number cubes are rolled?
The probability is 21/36 = 7/12
If a die is rolled once what is the probability of rolling a number between and including one and six?
The probability is 1. It is a certainty that you will roll a number between and including one and six. The probability of rolling each individual number is 1/6.
The probability of rolling an even number when number cube is rolled twice?
Because 3/6 of the sides on a number cube have even numbers, the probability of rolling even on one number cube is 1/2(equivalent of 3/6). But since you're rolling twice, you multiply the probability of one by itself (therefore rolling 2 number cubes). So: 1/2x1/2=1/4 The probability of rolling an even number when a number cube is rolled twice is 1/4, 25%, or 1 out of 4.
What is the probability of rolling 6 or less if two dice are rolled once?
The probability is 1, if the dice are rolled often enough.
What is the probability of rolling a 1 and a prime number?
If the die is rolled often enough, the probability is 1. With only two rolls of a fair die, the probability is 1/6.
When a dice is rolled what is the probability of rolling a 3?
If you're only rolling one die, it's a probability of 1 out of six, or 16.67%.
A number cube is rolled 2 times in a row What is the probability of rolling a 3 both times?
When a number cube is rolled twice, there are 36 possible outcomes. (1,1),(1,2),....(6,6). (3,3) occurs only once. Therefore, the probability of rolling a 3 both times is 1/36.
What is the probability for rolling a number cube?
For most people the probability is 1: they have already rolled a number cube. For infants, it is quite likely to happen in the course of their lives, so again the probability is very close to 1.
What is the probability of rolling a number that is divisible by two on a six sided die?
If the die is rolled often enough, the event is a certainty - probability = 1. For a single roll, the probability is 1/2.
When two dice are rolled what is the probability of not getting a sum of 12?
The probability of rolling 12 with 2 dice is 1 in 36. The probability of not rolling 12 with 2 dice is 35 in 36.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of 6 or less with two dice?
The probability is 1, if the dice are rolled often enough.
After a die has been rolled shouldn't the probability be 50 50 for any given outcome it either is or it isn't so it is a certain number should have the probability 1 2 More semantics than math?
Assuming as the die is rolled, and its a 6-sided die (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6), each number has a 1/6 probability of being rolled. The probability of any number being rolled is 1/6 and the probability of not rolling that number is 5/6. Something that has only 2 outcomes, such as boy & girl or heads & tails, will have the 50 50 probability.
If two fair dice were rolled what is the probability of them rolling a sum of six?
If you rolled 2 fair dice, the probability of having a sum of 6 is 5 over 36
What is the probability of rolling a 9 when a number cube is rolled 4 times?
A number cube is a six sided figure so I'm going to go with 0%
What is the probability of rolling a number less than 3 and then rollong a prime number?
The question depends on what the numbers are being rolled on: a hexahedron or some other shape.
What is the probability of rolling sum that is a multiple of 5?
That would depend upon what it is that is being rolled.
What is the probability that the number rolled will be greater that 4?
The probability that the number rolled, on a fair, six sided die, will be greater than 4 is 1/3.The probability that the number rolled, on a fair, six sided die, will be greater than 4 is 1/3.The probability that the number rolled, on a fair, six sided die, will be greater than 4 is 1/3.The probability that the number rolled, on a fair, six sided die, will be greater than 4 is 1/3.
What is the probability of getting a sum of 3 when three number cubes are rolled?
If the number cubes are standard dice cubes, the odds of rolling 3 ones is 1 in 216.
A pair of dice are rolled find the probability at least one dice is a 4?
When rolling one die, the probability of getting a 4 is 1 in 6, or 0.1667. If two dice are rolled, you get two unrelated chances of rolling at least one 4, so the probability is 2 in 6, or 0.3333.
How do you calculate probability problems?
a 12-sided die is rolled. The set of equally likely outcomes is (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12). What is the probability of rolling an 8
What is the probability of rolling 6 and four in backgammon three times in a row?
The answer depends on how many times in total the dice are rolled. As the total number of rolls increases, the probability rolling a 6 and 4 three times in a row increases towards 1.
What is the probability of rolling a multiple of 3?
The answer depends on how often the die is rolled. As the number of rolls increases, the probability gets near enough to 1 as makes no difference. For a single roll, the answer is 1/3.
