What is the probability of getting a sum of 5 when two dice are thrown?
Each dice has six combinations which are independent. Therefore the number of possible outcomes will be 6*6 = 36. The probability of rolling a pair of dice whose numbers add to 5 is 4/36 = 1/9.
What are the odds of rolling 5 of a kind?
The probability of rolling five of a kind of any other number is also 1/7776. Since there are a total of six different numbers on a die, we multiply the above probability by 6. This means that the probability of a Yahtzee on the first roll is 6 x 1/7776 = 1/1296 = 0.08 percent.
What is the probability of rolling a five on your first throw and another five on the second throw of that die?

What is the chance of throwing a total of 5 or 6 in a single throw of two dice?

What is the probability of getting a sum of 5 or 6 when a pair of dice is rolled? Probability of getting a sum of 5 or 6 = 9/36 = 1/4.
How do you get a Yahtzee?
A Yahtzee occurs when all five dice are the same. If the player throws a Yahtzee and has already filled the Yahtzee box with a score of 50, they score a Yahtzee bonus and get an extra 100 points. However, if they throw a Yahtzee and have filled the Yahtzee category with a score of 0, they do not get a Yahtzee bonus.
