a die is tossed 4 times. what is the odds in favor of the die showing a 6 all four times.
------
P(6 four times) = (1/6)^4
P(not getting 6 four times) = 1 - (1/6)^4
----------------------------------------------
Odds in favor of "6 four times" = [1/6^4]/[1 - (1/6^4)]
= [1/6^4]/[(6^4-1)/6^4]
--------------
= 1:1295
