Can I use "Dijkstra's algorithm" to find distribution of probabilities of some events (example "biased dice","male death probability")? If I can, how?

Also, can anyone explain following sentence with more example: Dijkstra's algorithm is for finding shortest paths in certain types of weighted graphs

+4  A: 

Dijkstra's algorithm is for finding the cheapest path across a network (be it fastest, shortest, etc.) It's not about probabilities, so no.
