  2. Dice notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice_notation

    For instance, 4d6−L means a roll of 4 six-sided dice, dropping the lowest result. This application skews the probability curve towards the higher numbers, as a result a roll of 3 can only occur when all four dice come up 1 (probability ⁠ 1 / 1,296 ⁠), while a roll of 18 results if any three dice are 6 (probability ⁠ 21 / 1,296 ...

  3. Intransitive dice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intransitive_dice

    The probability that A rolls a higher number than B, the probability that B rolls higher than C, and the probability that C rolls higher than A are all ⁠ 5 / 9 ⁠, so this set of dice is intransitive. In fact, it has the even stronger property that, for each die in the set, there is another die that rolls a higher number than it more than ...

    However, when rolling two dice and summing the results, the probability distribution shifts, as some sums (like 7) become more likely than others (like 2 or 12). These distributions can model real-world scenarios or mathematical constructs, making dice a practical tool for teaching and exploring concepts in probability theory.

  5. Probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability

    The probabilities of rolling several numbers using two dice. Probability is the branch of mathematics and statistics concerning events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger the probability, the more likely an event is to occur.

  6. Bernoulli trial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_trial

    Probabilities of rolling k sixes from n independent fair dice, with crossed out dice denoting non-six rolls – 2 sixes out of 3 dice is circled On one die, the probability of rolling a six, p = 1 6 {\displaystyle p={\tfrac {1}{6}}} .

  7. Craps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craps

    The probability of dice combinations determine the odds of the payout. There are a total of 36 (6 × 6) possible combinations when rolling two dice. The following chart shows the dice combinations needed to roll each number. The two and twelve are the hardest to roll since only one combination of dice is possible.

  8. Gambler's fallacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

    For a fair 16-sided die, the probability of each outcome occurring is ⁠ 1 / 16 ⁠ (6.25%). If a win is defined as rolling a 1, the probability of a 1 occurring at least once in 16 rolls is: [] = % The probability of a loss on the first roll is ⁠ 15 / 16 ⁠ (93.75%). According to the fallacy, the player should have a higher chance of ...

  9. Probability interpretations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_interpretations

    There are two broad categories [1] [2] of probability interpretations which can be called "physical" and "evidential" probabilities. Physical probabilities, which are also called objective or frequency probabilities, are associated with random physical systems such as roulette wheels, rolling dice and radioactive atoms. In such systems, a given ...
