How many possibilities are there if 5 dice are tossed?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
Puzzling say: Six outcomes for each of the five dice.
6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6
= 6^5
= 7,776 outcomes

rotchm say: Depends what you mean.
If you mean how many different sums, there are all the values from 5 to 30 = 26.
If you mean the facing values, and the die are distinct, then 6^5.
If you mean the facing values, but the die not distinct, then 252.

llaffer say: If the dice are all standard 6-sided dice, and you are counting duplicate sums, example:

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6
2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6

are two different outcomes, then there are a total of:

6⁵ = 7,776 different possible outcomes

If you don't want to count duplicates, then find the minimum value and the maximum value and all values in between are possible:

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 30

Subtracting them will count one of the numbers but not the other, so we add one to count both values:

(30 - 5) + 1
25 + 1
26 different possible values

ted s say: 6^5....{ if the dice are ' distinct '.......note that for 2 dice there are 36 if the dice are ' distinct '...if not then there are only 21.different tuples....which do you desire ?
