How would I use Excel to determine the probability of not throwing a six if I threw a dice three times.

=125/216
=(5*5*5)/(6*6*6)
=5^3/6^3
Take your pick.

Like trcooke says...
The probability of not throwing a six is 5/6 (i.e. five-sixths).
The probability of not throwing a six on three occasions is (5/6)^3 (i.e. five-sixths cubed).
In Excel, you could use one or trcooke's examples or =(5/6)^3, which makes the most sense to me.0
