This probability reference table shows the probability for a range of favourable outcomes values, assuming a total possible outcomes of 6. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Probability Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

How to use this table
Find the row closest to your favourable outcomes and read across to the probability. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Probability Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Probability Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
