This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
4d8 attempt: 6 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 13
So, what you're looking for are the odds of: 1) Rolling a d20, and reading the result (let's say it results in a 7) 2) Rolling a d6 <that> many times (in my example, 7 times), and having the result of those n rolls add up to 35? i.e. Roll #1 = 6, Roll #2 = 4, Roll #3 = 5, Roll #4 = 5, Roll #5 = 3, Roll #6 = 6, Roll #7 = 6....6+4+5+5+3+6+6 = 35.
That's beyond my stats skillz, so I asked an AI tool to explain that one. It's answer (and note: copy/pasting the formulas doesn't appear to work, so I'm just going to erase the formulas it's giving me!):
The problem requires calculating the overall probability of a target sum by considering all possible outcomes from the initial 20-sided die roll.
Let D20 be the result of the 20-sided die (from 1 to 20), and SD20 be the sum of D20 rolls of a 6-sided die. We are looking for the probability P(SD20=35).
The probability of any specific roll of the 20-sided die is P(D20 = n) = 1/20 for n = {1, 2, ..., 20}.
Using the Law of Total Probability, the overall odds are:
[[deleted equation that doesn't want to copy/paste over nicely]]
The minimum sum for n rolls of a 6-sided die is n, and the maximum is 6n. The sum of 35 is only possible if n <= 35 and 6n >= 35. The second condition requires n >= 35/6 = 5.833, so n must be at least 6.
Therefore, the summation only includes terms for n = 6 through n = 20.
The probability P(Sn = 35) is the number of ways to roll a total of 35 with n six-sided dice, divided by the total number of outcomes, 6^n.
The calculation performed by the tool is as follows:
Calculate the sum of the probabilities that n six-sided dice total 35, for n=6 to n=20. Approximately 0.2857101256698528
Calculate the Overall Probability: Divide the sum by 20 (the probability of any specific D20 roll). Approximately 0.014285506283492642
The overall odds that the results of all those rolls of the 6-sided die add up to total 35 is approximately 0.01428551, or about 1.428551%.
