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

When two number cubes are rolled what is the probability that their sum will be a common multiple of 2 and 3?

I am not sure but I think 3/36


Find the probability of each event when two fair number cubes are rolled?

The probability that any number will come up on one cube is 1/6. 1/6*1/6=1/36 the probability is 1/36


Two number cubes are rolled what is probubility of 1 and 2?

First of all it is probability second of all the answer is 1/6+1/6 which is 2/12 which simplified is 1/6


What is the probability of rolling divisors of 12 on both dice?

Of all the six numbers on a cube, only the '5' is not a factor of 12.Probability of rolling a factor of 12 on the first cube = 5/6 .Probability of rolling a factor of 12 on the second cube = 5/6 .Probability of rolling a factor of 12 on both cubes = (5/6 x 5/6 ) = 25/36 = 694/9 %.


What is the probability of rolling a sum of 8 on at least one of two rolls of a pair of number cubes?

The probability of rolling a sum of 8 on one roll of a pair of dice is 5/36.The probability of not rolling a sum of 8 on one roll of a pair of dice is 31/36.The probability of rolling a sum of 8 twice on two rolls of a pair of dice is(5/36)(5/36) = (5/36)2 .The probability of rolling first a sum of 8 and then rolling a sum that is not 8 on thesecond roll is (5/36)(31/36).The probability of rolling a sum that is not 8 on the first roll and rolling a sum of 8in the second roll is (31/36)(5/36).So The probability of rolling a sum of 8 at least one of two rolls of a pair of dice is(5/36)2 + (5/36)(31/38) + (31/36)(5/36) = 0.258487654... ≈ 25.8%.

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.


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.
