can anyone help me ...Write a MATLAB m-file function (dice.m) which simulates one or more dice with each die giving values from 1 to 6

The program takes a single argument which is the number of dice.

The output should contain the values of the dice and also the probability for this combination of dice to occur. The probability is expressed as a decimal value between 0 and 1 with five decimal points

    function [prob varargout] = diceSim(numDice)

    % Generates random numbers from 1 to 6

    % Store them in a matrix of size [numDice,1]

    diceVal = randi(6,numDice,1);

    % Determines the probabilty of rolling a particular combo, for a six

    % sided die an individual probability is (1/6), thus having 'n' number

    % of independent probability die then for 'n' number of die the

    % combined probability is simply (1/6)^n
    prob = (1/6)^numDice;
    % Pre-allocates a cell for the variable sized output argument
    % 'varargout', just for speed
    varargout = cell(numDice,1);
    % Loop over all the dice values and set the value for each dice into
    % the output cell
    for i=1:numDice
       varargout{i} = diceVal(i,1);
    end

    % Example use of this in a main.m file would be    

%     numDice = 3;
%     [prob d1 d2 d3] = diceSim(numDice);        

end
