There are 36 permutations of two dice. Of these, 6 have a sum less than five, 1+1, 1+2, 1+3, 2+1, 2+2, and 3+1. The probability, then, of rolling a sum less than five on two dice is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.
Rolling the dice once will result in any one of the six numbers having the same probability of being up. The probability of getting a '5' = 1/6, the same as getting a '1.' ============================
The probability of not rolling a sum of six with two fair dice is 1 minus the probability of rolling a sum of six. There are 36 permutations of rolling two dice. Of these, five sum to six, 1+5, 2+4, 3+3, 4+2, and 5+1. The probability, then of rolling a sum of six is 5 in 36. The probability, then of not rolling a sum of six is 31 in 36, or about 0.8611.
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. "Getting a number under five doing what?" rolling dice? turning a spinner? drawing a card? Please restate the question.
There are 36 possible outcomes when we roll a pair of dice. Rolling a five can be done the following ways: 3-2, 4-1, 2-3 and 1-4. That's four ways to roll a five with one roll of the dice. The odds of rolling a five are 4 in 36, or 1 in 9. That makes the probability of rolling a five equal to 0.11111....We know that the probability of something is a ratio of the number of times it can be done to the total number of things that are possible. Probabilities range from zero to one, inclusive. If something has a probability of zero, it cannot happen. Like rolling a 13. A 13 cannot be rolled with one roll of a pair of standard dice. Thus the probability of rolling a 13 is zero, as it cannot happen.If something has a probability of one, it must happen. Like the probability of rolling an odd or an even number with one roll of a pair of dice. Since any number we roll must be either odd or even, then the probability of rolling an odd or an even number with one roll of a pair of dice is one. An odd or an even number must turn up, and that is why the probability of rolling an odd or an even number with one roll of the dice is one. Lastly, we've seen that the probability of rolling a given number with one roll of the dice is the number of times that number might appear divided by the total number of possibilities that might appear.
It depends upon how you are picking these numbers. Let's say you are rolling two dice. The probability of rolling 2 fours is 1 in 36. The probability of exactly 1 five is 10 in 36, while the probability of at least 1 five is 11 in 36. The probability of exactly 1 six is 10 in 36, while the probability of at least 1 six is 11 in 36. The probability of at least 1 five or 1 six is 19 in 36. The probability of exactly 1 five or six is 15 in 36. So no matter how you look at it, with dice rolling, the probability of 1 five or 1 six is bigger than the probability of 2 fours. However, if you are picking numbers from a hat, then the probabilities are different.
The probability of rolling the same number on five dice is (1/6)4, or about 0.0007716.

The probability is 120/7776 = 0.0154, approx.
I suppose you mean, at least one of those numbers. Just calculate the probability of NOT getting any of those, and take the complement. The probability of not getting a one nor a five on a single die is 4/6 or 2/3. For two dice, the probability is 2/3 x 2/3 = 4/9. So, the probability of getting at least a one or a five with two dice is 1 - 4/9 = 5/9.I suppose you mean, at least one of those numbers.

The odds of rolling five of a kind with five dice is 1 in 1296. The first die is going to roll something, so the odds are 1 in 1. Each of the other dice have a probability of 1 in 6 of matching the first die, so the resultant probability is (1 in 1) times (1 in 6) to the fourth power.
A single roll of 2 dice can come up in (6 x 6) = 36 ways. A sum of five is made with 1 and 4, 4 and 1 2 and 3, 3 and 2 four out of the 36. The probability is (4/36)= 1/9 on each roll. If each roll is perfectly random, then the probability of getting a 5 in 9 rolls is 100%.
Your question is very vague but if we assume "rolling a 5" is rolling a five on a six sided dice then the probability of that would be 1/6 since there are 6 sides and 5 is just 1 side. Again your question is very vague but if we assume "getting tails" means getting heads or tails on a 2 sided coin then the probability of that would be 1/2 since there are 2 sides and tails is just 1 side.
