Detailed explanation-1: -In other words, the probability P equals p to the power n, or P = pⁿ = (1/s)ⁿ . If we consider three 20-sided dice, the chance of rolling 15 on each of them is: P = (1/20)³ = 0.000125 (or P = 1.25.
Detailed explanation-2: -Probability of a sum of 15: 10/216 = 4.6% Probability of a sum of 16: 6/216 = 2.8% Probability of a sum of 17: 3/216 = 1.4%
Detailed explanation-3: -The impossible event has zero probability Therefore, by definition, impossible events have zero probability.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are six possible outcomes-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The probability of getting any of the numbers is 1/6. As the event is an equally likely event so the possibility of getting any number is the same in this case it is 1/6 or 50/3%.
