Probability of getting at least n as a sum when rolling x y sided dice
For example:
What is the probability of getting at least 10 when rolling 5d4 where adb means a b sided dice. (f.ex 4d20 means 4 20 sided dice)
A commom misconception:
I dont mean getting at least x amount of 6s or something like that, i mean the probability of getting at least x as a sum, when rolling x y sided dice.

I've seen similar posts before, talking about the Binomial distribution, but im not a maths genius, so if anyone could give a formula or something, that would be perfect.

There are a couple of formulas in the Wikipedia article to which I provided a link.

You might also find wikihow.com/Calculate-Multiple-Dice-Probabilities and wikihow.com/Calculate-Multiple-Dice-Probabilities useful for how to compute this stuff using a spreadsheet. For the cumulative probabilities, you’ll need to add an extra column to sums up the individual probabilities.
