  2. Dice notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice_notation

    For instance, 4d6−L means a roll of 4 six-sided dice, dropping the lowest result. This application skews the probability curve towards the higher numbers, as a result a roll of 3 can only occur when all four dice come up 1 (probability ⁠ 1 / 1,296 ⁠), while a roll of 18 results if any three dice are 6 (probability ⁠ 21 / 1,296 ...

    So the player has a 41.8% chance of throwing a 1 and a 4 on the first throw of the dice and a 74.2% chance of throwing a 1 and a 4 after the second throw of the dice. The formula can be used to calculate the maximum probability of scoring when the player has less than 6 dice.

    With the chisanbop method it is possible to represent all numbers from 0 to 99 with the hands, rather than the usual 0 to 10, and to perform the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of numbers. [4] The system has been described as being easier to use than a physical abacus for students with visual impairments. [5]

  5. Sicherman dice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicherman_dice

    The generating function for the throws of two dice is the product of two copies of each of these factors. How can we partition them to form two legal dice whose spots are not arranged traditionally? Here legal means that the coefficients are non-negative and sum to six, so that each die has six sides and every face has at least one spot. (That ...

  6. Discrete uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_uniform_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the discrete uniform distribution is a symmetric probability distribution wherein each of some finite whole number n of outcome values are equally likely to be observed. Thus every one of the n outcome values has equal probability 1/n. Intuitively, a discrete uniform distribution is "a known, finite number ...

  7. Intransitive dice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intransitive_dice

    Each die is beaten by the previous die in the list with wraparound, with probability2 / 3 ⁠. C beats A with probability ⁠ 5 / 9 ⁠, and B and D have equal chances of beating the other. [4] If each player has one set of Efron's dice, there is a continuum of optimal strategies for one player, in which they choose their die with the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shut_the_box

    Shut the box (also called ACKPOT, [1] batten down the hatches [1] or trick-track [2]) is a game of dice for one or more players, commonly played in a group of two to four for stakes. Traditionally, a counting box is used with tiles numbered 1 to 9 where each can be covered with a hinged or sliding mechanism, though the game can be played with ...

  9. Dice pool - Wikipedia

    For example, rolling 10 six-sided dice should result in about half of the dice being 4 or more. The game designer can then express success as the number of dice with a given value — say 4 or more — allowing the designer to more accurately control the probable outcome of the desired action. [2]
