    Undergrad Calculating probability distribution for rolling 4 dice plus reroll lowest die

    ... I've racked my brain and can't see how it is NOT! Wow... Just roll 5 dice... I guess I over-thought things! Unless someone demonstrates that it is not the same as rolling 5 dice... Thanks! Much MUCH easier to calculate... So the distribution is: 3 = 1 (0.01%) 4 = 5...

    Undergrad Calculating probability distribution for rolling 4 dice plus reroll lowest die

    Hi, I am trying to figure out what the probability distribution is for the following: 1. Roll 4 dice. 2. Take the lowest die and re-roll it. 3. Take the sum of the three highest dice. The result will be between 3 and 18. I know how to figure out the probability distribution for...
