How many times do we need to throw 2 dices to get more than 1/2 probability that at least once the sum of the two dices will be 12.

Country Boy said:And my standard complaint: "dices" is a verb. "dice" is itself already plural- it is the plural of the word "die". You mean to say "two dice".
Country Boy said:No, it is not the same. "Two shoes", yes. "Shoes" is the plural of "shoe" But not "two dices" because "dice" is already plural. It should be "two dice".
The answer to this question depends on the number of dice being used. With two standard six-sided dice, the probability of rolling a sum of 12 is 1/36. This means, on average, it would take 36 rolls to get a sum of 12. However, this is just an average and it is possible to get a sum of 12 on the first or second roll, or to never get a sum of 12 after hundreds of rolls.
The probability of rolling a sum of 12 with two standard six-sided dice is 1/36, or approximately 2.78%. This is because there are 36 possible outcomes when rolling two dice, and only one of those outcomes results in a sum of 12 (rolling two sixes).
Yes, it is possible to use more than two dice to get a sum of 12. However, the probability of rolling a sum of 12 will vary depending on the number and type of dice being used. For example, if three six-sided dice are rolled, the probability of getting a sum of 12 would increase to 1/216.
Yes, it is possible to get a sum of 12 without rolling two sixes. For example, if three dice are rolled, the sum of 12 can be achieved by rolling a five, four, and three. However, the probability of getting a sum of 12 without rolling two sixes decreases as more dice are used.
The probability of rolling a sum of 12 will vary depending on the type of dice being used. For example, using two ten-sided dice will result in a higher probability of rolling a sum of 12 compared to using two six-sided dice. This is because the range of numbers on ten-sided dice (1-10) is larger than on six-sided dice (1-6), increasing the chances of getting a sum of 12.
