Thread: Dice Roll Problem

If I were to roll 5 6 sided dice (5D6), then what is the probability of me rolling the following 5 numbers: 1,2,3,4,5 ? Basically, what is the probability of not rolling either a six or a double on 5 dice? Thank you in advance for your help!

EDIT: I'd prefer the answer as a percentage rather than a decimal if possible!

There are possible outcomes.
There are that contain the numbers .

But how many of these are doubles (doubles including trebles, quadruples, quintuples etc.)?

None of them.
Each of the 120 outcomes contains exactly one each of .

Thanks! So there is a 1.54% chance of getting exactly one each of 1,2,3,4 and 5?

You were told the probability of getting 1-2-3-4-5 (any order) is 120/7776 :
isn't that enough?
