Question 469801: The faces of an 10-sided die are numbered from 1 to 10. What is the probability of rolling a 6 three times in 8 rolls? Answer by ccs2011(207) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use Binomial Theorem:
probability of rolling a 6 is 1/10, thus probability of not rolling a 6 is 9/10
P(X=3) = 8C3*(.1)^3*(.9)^5
P(X=3) = 56*(.001)*(.5905)
P(X=3) = .0331
