Question

if you play 3 dice of 6 sides, what is the probability of getting 16 or more(total sum)?

Answer 1

Sum or product total?

Answer 2

sum

Answer 3

I found 5/108

Answer 4

adding P(16)+P(17)+P(18)=(6+3+1)/216

Answer 5

You can get:
6, 6, 6 = 18
6, 6, 5 = 17
6, 6, 4 = 16.

I am not sure if order does matter in this case or not, but I will presume that order does not matter.

18 is the largest possible sum to get with rolling a 6-sided fair die 3 times. I am still working through how you would express the total number of possible combinations of sums, but there's something to get you started for now.

Answer 6

I was confused about the order too =/
