Basic probability question: dice

[urbanbreez]

If i have six dice, what is the percentage chance (probability) that i roll all 1's?

please show work.

[KCollins1304]

I think ((1/6)^6)*100%

[bigh0rt]

1/46656

[urbanbreez]

1/46656

how did you arrive at that answer?

[Inukchuk]

The probability of rolling a 1 on 1 die is obviously 1/6. If you want a 1 on 2 dice, it's 1/6*1/6. 3 dice, 1/6*1/6*1/6, or (1/6)^3. Your'e looking for 6 dice, so it's (1/6)^6. If you wanted it as a percent, you multiply this by 100...

Do your own statistics homework.
