I'm not exactly sure what you meant, but if you were asking what the probability of rolling a dice five times and getting at least one six is, the answer is 1/6.

That's 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 5/30

5/30 can be expressed as 1/6

Answer given!

(More logically, the answer's obviously 1/6 because each new roll of a fair dice has no connection to the previous roll. There are 6 sides on a dice, and the number 6 is one of them. Therefore, 1/6)


***Don't take my word on this. Ever since I finished school I've tried to ignore logic of any kind.***
