Probability Guide

Dice probability guide.

Dice are a simple way to understand probability because every face has an equal chance on a fair die, but totals can have very different chances.

One die

On a standard six-sided die, each face has a 1 in 6 chance. Over many rolls, each face should appear close to 16.67% of the time.

Two dice

With two dice, totals are not equally likely. A total of 7 is common because it can be made many ways. A total of 2 or 12 is rare because each has only one combination.

21 combination: 1+1
76 combinations: 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1
121 combination: 6+6
