Which is more probable rolling an 11 or rolling a 16?
mhh, it is much more probable to roll an 11 than a 16.
How many dice are being rolled? You cannot roll a 16 with two dice. With three disc, 11 is more probable than 16. You can verify that by adding up the possible permutations.
To determine which outcome is more probable, we need to consider the probabilities associated with each event.
When rolling a fair six-sided die, there are six equally likely outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. To calculate the probability of rolling a specific number, we divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total possible outcomes.
1. Rolling an 11: Since there are no favorable outcomes (the die only has numbers from 1 to 6), the probability of rolling an 11 is 0.
2. Rolling a 16: Again, there are no favorable outcomes for a single die as it only goes up to 6. Thus, the probability of rolling a 16 is also 0.
In this case, neither outcome is possible when using a single six-sided die, so both have a probability of 0.
