Dice Probability Formulas
The following formulas are used to calculate different dice probabilities. (6 sided dice)
- Chance to get any given value (sum of all dice)
- C = 1 / 6 * D
- Where D is the number of dice
- C = 1 / 6 * D
- Change to get matching values on all dice. (i.e. 1/1/1 on 3 dice)
- C = (1 / 6 ) ^ D
- Where D is the number of dice
- C = (1 / 6 ) ^ D
- Chance to get at least 1 value on a role of D number of dice.
- C = D / 6
- Where D is the number of dice
- C = D / 6
These formulas are only used for 6 sided dice. For different-sided dice, you must change the value 6 to the number of sides on the dice.
Dice Probability Definition
Dice Probability is defined as the chance of an event occurring while rolling 1 or more dice.
Dice Probability Example
How to calculate a dice probability?
First, determine the event or outcome you wish to calculate the probability of. In this example, we are examining the chance to get matching numbers when rolling 3 different dice (or the same die 3 times).
Next, choose the formula above that matches the probability event you are calculating and also decide the number of sides to the dice. In this case, the number of sides is 6 and the formula is:
C = (1 / 6 ) ^ D
C = (1 / 6 ) ^ 3
C = .0046 = .46% chance.
FAQ
The chance of rolling any number with a single die is 1/6 or 16.66%.
