How do you calculate the chance of rolling a certain number on a six sided dice once (assuming the rolls are completely random) in a certain number of rolls? Ex: rolling a dice 6 times won't get you a 100% chance of rolling a six.
P (NOT rolling a particular number in n trials) = (56)n
so
P(Rolling a particular number in n trials ) = 1−(56)n
Melody's answer assumes the probability is of the number appearing at least once.
To calculate the probability of it appearing exactly once, use (n/6)(5/6)n-1.
The two probabilities are compared as a function of n in the graph below:
(The final sentence in the question suggests that Melody's answer is what was being sought.)
