Rolling 2 dice with 6 sides, the sum is exactly 7 in 6 of the 36 equally likely outcomes: a 16.67% chance.

Sum of 2d6, highlighted: sum exactly 7

طريقة الحساب S
  1. Equally likely outcomes

    SN=62=36S^N = 6^{2} = 36
  2. Count the sums

    #{sum =7}=6\#\{\text{sum } = 7\} = 6

    Counts come from convolving one die's distribution N − 1 times in exact integers (each new die adds a sliding window of S counts).

حول Dice, coin and card probability calculator

Dice sums are counted exactly: one die's outcomes are convolved N − 1 times, so all Sᴺ rolls of N dice with S sides are counted rather than simulated. Heads in coin flips follow the binomial distribution, and runs of heads use Feller's recurrence for success runs. Card draws use the hypergeometric distribution, because each card leaves the deck, and poker hands are counted over all 2,598,960 five-card hands.

The default, two six-sided dice summing to 7, is the most likely total: 6 of the 36 rolls, a chance of 1/6. With three dice, a sum of at least 11 comes up exactly half the time, 108 of 216 rolls, and 3 or more heads in a row turn up in 50.8% of 10-flip sequences.

The results assume fair dice, independent flips and a well-shuffled deck; for a biased coin, enter its chance of heads. Answers are exact fractions unless the numbers grow too large.

الأسئلة

What is the most likely sum when rolling two dice?

7, which 6 of the 36 equally likely rolls produce (1+6, 2+5, 3+4 and their reverses), a probability of 1/6 or 16.67%. The extremes 2 and 12 each need one exact roll, 1/36 or 2.78%. With three dice the peak shifts to 10 and 11, each 27 of 216 rolls, or 12.5%.

What are the odds of flipping heads 10 times in a row?

1 in 1,024 with a fair coin, because each flip halves the chance: (1/2)¹⁰ = 1/1,024, about 0.098%. After 9 heads in a row, the 10th flip is still 50% heads, since flips are independent; expecting tails to be "due" is the gambler's fallacy. Any other specific sequence of 10 flips, such as HTHTHTHTHT, is exactly as unlikely.

What are the odds of each poker hand?

Of the 2,598,960 five-card hands, 4 are royal flushes (1 in 649,740), 624 are four of a kind (1 in 4,165) and 3,744 are full houses (about 1 in 694). One pair turns up in 42.26% of deals, and 50.12% of hands hold nothing better than a high card. These are standard counts for the first five cards dealt, with no draws or community cards.

What is the probability of drawing an ace from a deck?

4/52 = 1/13, about 7.69%, for one card from a full 52-card deck. For at least one ace in a 5-card hand, subtract the chance of none: 1 − C(48, 5)/C(52, 5) = 34.12%. Cards drawn without replacement follow the hypergeometric distribution, so each ace drawn lowers the chance that the next card is an ace.

How likely is a streak of heads in a row?

More likely than most people guess. In 10 fair flips there is a 65/128 = 50.78% chance of at least one run of 3 or more heads, because a run can start at any of the 8 positions from flip 1 to flip 8. Long real sequences therefore contain streaks, and a streak alone is weak evidence that a coin is biased.
