If a fair die is rolled 6 times, what is the probability, to the nearest thousandth, of getting exactly 1 four?

Solution

If a fair die is rolled 6 times, what is the probability, to the nearest thousandth, of getting exactly 1 four?

Solution

\frac{3125}{7776}

Solution steps

Probability of 4 when a die is rolled:

\frac{1}{6}

For multiple independent trials

P (x) = n C x \cdot p^{x} \cdot (1 - p)^{n - x}

number of trials

n = 6

number of successes

x = 1

probability of success in any one trial

p = \frac{1}{6}

P (1) = 6 C 1 \cdot (\frac{1}{6})^{1} (1 - \frac{1}{6})^{6 - 1}

6 C 1 = 6

= 6 (\frac{1}{6})^{1} (\frac{5}{6})^{5}

6 (\frac{1}{6})^{1} (\frac{5}{6})^{5} = \frac{3125}{7776}

= \frac{3125}{7776}
