What is Dice Expected?
A dice probability calculator computes expected values, probabilities of specific outcomes, and probability distributions for different dice combinations. The expected value of a fair 6-sided die is 3.5; two d6s have an expected sum of 7. Used in game design, tabletop RPGs, and teaching probability concepts.
