Question 387111: Suppose you have 5 distinguishable dice. Calculate the size of the sample space.
List all the outcomes which satisfy the event "all five dice are the same".
Calculate the probability of thus event occurring. ( in other worlds calculate the probability of getting a yahtzee on one roll) leave answer as a fraction reduced to simplest terms

size of sample space: 6^5 = 7776
List all the outcomes which satisfy the event "all five dice are the same".
{1,1,1,1,1}, {2,2,2,2,2}, ..., {5,5,5,5,5}, {6,6,6,6,6} ---> 6 ways
Calculate the probability of thus event occurring.
6/7776 = 1/1296
Answer: 1/1296
