1. What is 6-Sided Dice Probability?

A standard 6-sided die has equal probability for each face (1 through 6) when rolled fairly. The basic probability for any single outcome is 1/6 or approximately 16.67%.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses probability formulas for dice rolls:

Where:

• \( n \) — Number of dice rolls
• \( \frac{1}{6} \) — Probability of desired outcome in one roll
• \( \frac{5}{6} \) — Probability of not getting desired outcome

3. Probability Concepts

Independent Events: Each dice roll is independent - previous outcomes don't affect future rolls.

Law of Large Numbers: As number of rolls increases, observed frequencies approach theoretical probabilities.

4. Using the Calculator

Steps: Select your desired outcome (1-6), enter number of rolls, and click Calculate. Results show probability of getting exactly that sequence and probability of getting the outcome at least once.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are dice rolls really independent?
A: With fair dice and proper rolling technique, yes. Casino dice are precision-made to ensure fairness.

Q2: What if I roll multiple dice at once?
A: For multiple dice, probabilities change. This calculator is for single die rolled multiple times.

Q3: How does probability change with more rolls?
A: Chance of exact sequence decreases exponentially, while chance of getting outcome at least once increases.

Q4: What's the probability of rolling a 6 in 4 rolls?
A: About 51.77% chance of getting at least one 6 in 4 rolls.

Q5: Can this calculator be used for loaded dice?
A: No, it assumes a fair die with equal probability for all outcomes.
