    Dice Probability
AI Thread Summary
The probability of rolling a higher number than the previous roll in five consecutive dice rolls is calculated by considering the unique increasing sequences possible with six outcomes. Since all rolls must be different, there are exactly six valid increasing sequences. The total number of possible sequences for five rolls is \(6^5\). Thus, the probability is determined by the ratio of the six increasing sequences to the total possible sequences. This results in a clear understanding of the likelihood of achieving such an outcome in five rolls.

A Dice is Rolled $5$ times. The Probability of Getting a higher number then the previous number each time is

It's easy to explicitly enumerate all increasing sequences of 5 numbers from {1, ..., 6}.

Because the sequences are increasing all the die rolls are different, as there are only 6 possible outcomes all but one of the outcomes must be present in such a sequence and there is only one order that these can be in, so there are exactly \(6\) increasing sequences of 5 die roll outcomes from a total of \(6^5\) possible sequences of 5 die roll outcomes...

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
