    No. That's not how probability calculations work. Look up Bernoulli-Process

    I'll just take your word for it... how I came up with that number was take the 1.5% chance I was given for it to happen personally in one run above, and multiplied it roughly by the 7 other party members. But that was guesswork and I figured there might be a fallacy in that approach.

    No, the probability is less than 25% Each sand is its own separate roll with a 1/8 chance or 12.5% The odds of receiving neither would be (7/8)^2 or 49/64 or 15/64 chance of receiving a sand and another 15/64 chance of receiving an oil. Same thing with UAT, but people only need 10 of those total.

    The chance is 21,88% to receive EXACTLY 1 sand out of 2 and 23,44% to receive AT LEAST 1 sand
