Question 1185443
<br>
a) exactly 4 sixes<br>
The probability of a 6 on each roll is 1/6; the probability of any other outcome is 5/6.<br>
The number of orders in which you can get exactly 4 sixes in 5 rolls is C(5,4).<br>
P(4 sixes in 5 rolls) = {{{C(5,4)((1/6)^4)((5/6)^1)=5(5/6^5)=25/6^5=25/7776}}}<br>
ANSWER: 25/7776<br>
b) at least 4 sixes<br>
To the answer for part a, add the probability of getting sixes on all 5 rolls.<br>
P(5 sixes on 5 rolls) = {{{(1/6)^5=1/7776}}}<br>
ANSWER: 26/7776 (simplify if required)<br>
