Data Source and Methodology
All calculations are based on standard probability equations as outlined in Statistics How To. All calculations strictly follow the formulas and data provided.
The Formula Explained
P = (Number of Successful Outcomes) / (Total Number of Outcomes)
Glossary of Variables
- Number of Sides: The number of faces on one die.
- Number of Dice: The total number of dice being rolled.
- Probability: The likelihood of rolling a specific outcome.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
If you roll two 6-sided dice, the probability of rolling a sum of 7 is calculated as follows: There are 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes, and 6 of those result in a sum of 7. Thus, P = 6/36 = 1/6 ≈ 16.67%.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do you calculate dice probability?
Dice probability is calculated by considering the total number of possible outcomes and the number of desired outcomes.
What is the probability of rolling a 7 with two dice?
The probability of rolling a sum of 7 with two 6-sided dice is 16.67%.
Can this calculator handle different types of dice?
Yes, you can input any number of sides to simulate different types of dice.
