What is the probability of rolling a small straight when you roll all five dice?
960/7776
Since there are 960 different ways to roll a small straight in a single roll and there are 7776 rolls of five dice possible, the probability of rolling a small straight is 960/7776, which is close to 1/8 and 12.3%. Of course, it is more likely than not that the first roll is not a straight.
What are the odds of rolling a five with to die?
Two (6-sided) dice roll probability table
| Roll a… | Probability |

| 5 | 10/36 (27.778%) |
| 6 | 15/36 (41.667%) |
| 7 | 21/36 (58.333%) |
| 8 | 26/36 (72.222%) |
How many possible rolls of 5 dice are there?
5 dice. Now things are getting a little busy! There are 7776 possible combinations for five dice.
What are the odds of rolling a straight?
This is a highly desirable roll in many dice games. How likely is it? You have about a 1.5% chance of rolling a straight. One thing worth noting is that that probability is the same whether you roll one die at a time or all six together.
What is a small straight in dice?
Small straight: 30 points provided four of the dice have consecutive values; zero otherwise. Large straight: 40 points provided all five dice have consecutive values; zero otherwise. would receive a score of 40. Yahtzee: 50 points provided all five dice have the same value; zero otherwise.
What are the chances of rolling 5 6’s in a row?
The fact that you just rolled five sixes in a row is only in there to confuse you. The probability of getting a six on your next roll is 1/6. Rolling a six on your next roll does not depend on whatever you rolled before.
What is a Yahtzee roll?
A Yahtzee is a 5 of a Kind (i.e. all the die faces are the same), and it scores 50 points. If you roll more than one Yahtzee in a single game, you will earn a 100 point bonus for each additional Yahtzee roll, provided that you have already scored a 50 in the Yahtzee category.
What’s the highest recorded Yahtzee score?
The total score therefore would be 140 from the left hand side plus 1435 from the right hand side, giving a grand total maximum possible best ever world record yahtzee score of 1575.
What are the odds of a Yahtzee roll?
Expected optimal scores for a single turn Roll 1 Roll 2 Roll 3 Small Straight 4.65 12.38 18.48 Large Straight 1.27 5.32 10.61 Yahtzee 0.04 0.63 2.30 Chance 17.50 21.25 23.33
How to calculate the probability of a dice roll?
For each dice, the. probability is (number of favorable cases)/ (the total number of all possible cases). Because any first roll is favorable, this probability can be modeled by: = 6 ⋅ 1 6n or 1 6n−1. For all showing the same number, it is the compound probability. = product of the separate probabilities.
What are the chances of rolling five numbers?
The probability of rolling five of a kind of any other number is also 1/7776. Since there are a total of six different numbers on a die, we multiply the above probability by 6. This means that the probability of a Yahtzee on the first roll is 6 x 1/7776 = 1/1296 = 0.08%.
Can you calculate the probability of a small straight in Yahtzee?
Although Yahtzee allows three rolls, for simplicity we will only consider the case that we obtain a small straight in a single roll. Since we are working with a uniform sample space, the calculation of our probability becomes a calculation of a couple of counting problems.
