This program is designed to calculate probabilities when using a dice pool.
Dice pools are used in role playing games such as Shadowrun, Star Trek, the Storyteller games, and other games. A dice pool is used by rolling a number of dice and, rather than adding them together, comparing the rolls to a target number and counting how many dice meet that target.
Here are the figures (cumulative) for 10 10-sided dice rolled against a target number of 6:
The probability of 10 successes or more is 0.09765625
The probability of 9 successes or more is 1.07421875
The probability of 8 successes or more is 5.46875
The probability of 7 successes or more is 17.1875
The probability of 6 successes or more is 37.6953125
The probability of 5 successes or more is 62.3046875
The probability of 4 successes or more is 82.8125
The probability of 3 successes or more is 94.53125
The probability of 2 successes or more is 98.92578125
The probability of 1 success or more is 99.90234375
The probability of no successes is 0.09765625
and here is the form itself:
