Dice Probability Examples
Rolling dice is one of the easiest ways to understand probability because each face has an equal chance of appearing. When you roll two fair dice, you have 36 total possible outcomes.
Getting a seven is pretty common - you can roll (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), or (6,1). That's 6 ways out of 36, so P = 6/36 ≈ 0.1667. But "snake eyes" (rolling two ones) only happens one way out of 36, making P = 1/36 ≈ 0.0278.
Things get interesting with loaded dice - dice that aren't fair. If even numbers are twice as likely as odd numbers, you need to adjust your sample space. Instead of each outcome being equally likely, even numbers get more weight in your calculations.
Watch Out: Always check if the problem mentions "fair" dice or cards - loaded/biased items change everything!
