3 Dice Probability
3 Dice Probability
number of sides on each die. Assuming standard six-sided dice, let's calculate the probabilities of the
different possible totals:
Total Probability
3 1/216
4 3/216
5 6/216
6 10/216
7 15/216
8 21/216
9 25/216
10 27/216
11 27/216
12 25/216
13 21/216
14 15/216
15 10/216
16 6/216
17 3/216
18 1/216
To calculate the probabilities, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (where the sum of the
three dice equals the total) by the total number of possible outcomes (which is 216, as each die has
six possible outcomes).
Please note that these probabilities assume fair dice with equally likely outcomes on each face.
