Explanation If you roll one million dice, the odds of rolling each individual number are equivalent. Therefore, overall there will be an equal number of each option, 1-6. We simply sum all possibilities and take the average: ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 ) / 6 = 3.5 If a million dice were rolled and the sum of every dice taken, the likelihood of getting a sum of 1 million or 6 million would be the smallest possibility of any sum. There is only one viable way to have a sum of 1 million and that is every single dice rolling a 1...
