What are the odds of rolling five ones with five dice?In: Science [Recategorize] |

There are 7776 possible results with 5 dice; 6^5 or 6*6*6*6*6. Only one of these throws will result in all ones so the odds are 1 in 7776. An interesting side problem is, what are the odds that you won't throw a 1 with 5 dice (or any other specific number)? The answer is (5^5)/(6^5); 3125/7776 or 0.40188. This also indicates that you will throw at least one 1 4651/7776 times or 0.59812. (Almost 60 percent of the time you will throw at least one 1.)
