The easist way to do this is to think "what are the chances of me rolling NO 2s?"

On a single roll, the probability of not rolling a 2 is 5/6.
Hence the probability of not rolling a 2 ten times in a row is (5/6)<sup>10</sup>.

So the probability of NOT not rolling a 2 is one minus this:
1 - (5/6)<sup>10</sup>

I am just quoting this because it is correct, and if you work it out you get 83% just like the last poster mentioned
