Chance

Chance

Chance Probability Formula

Probability of Chance = Probability of No Scoring Rolls

Probability of Chance = All Possible Roll Scenarios - All Winning Scenarios

Probability of All Winning Scenarios = Yahtzee + 4 of a kind + Full House + Lg St . Sm St + 3 of a kind

Probability of All Winning Scenarios = 1/1,296 + 25/1,296 + 25/648 + 5/162 + 10/81 + 25/162

Probability of All Winning Scenarios = 476/1,296

All Possible Roll Scenarios

All Possible Roll Scenarios = 6 faces per die for 5 dies

All Possible Roll Scenarios = 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6

All Possible Roll Scenarios = 7,776

All Possible Roll Scenarios - All Winning Scenarios = 1 - 476/1,296

Plug in numbers

Probability of Chance  =  (1,296 - 476)
  1,296

Probability of Chance (Nothing)  =  820
  1296

Final Answer

Using our GCF calculator, we reduce top and bottom by 4, to get

Probability of Chance (Nothing)  =  205
  324


Probability of Chance (Nothing) = 205/324
