\n" ); document.write( "1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21

\n" ); document.write( "P(1) = 1/21
\n" ); document.write( "P(2) = 2/21
\n" ); document.write( "P(3) = 3/21
\n" ); document.write( "P(4) = 4/21
\n" ); document.write( "P(5) = 5/21
\n" ); document.write( "P(6) = 6/21

\n" ); document.write( "You need to get one of each outcome once. The probability of doing that in any particular order is

\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F21%29%282%2F21%29%283%2F21%29%284%2F21%29%285%2F21%29%286%2F21%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Those six outcomes can occur in any of 6! = 720 different orders.

\n" ); document.write( "The probability of getting each outcome once in 6 rolls is

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "That evaluates to 0.0060 to 4 decimal places, or very close to 0.6%.

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
