Fasi della soluzione

Probability of 5 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 = 2

probability of success in any one trial

p = \frac{1}{6}

P (2) = 6 C 2 (\frac{1}{6})^{2} (1 - \frac{1}{6})^{6 - 2}

6 C 2 = 15

= 15 (\frac{1}{6})^{2} (\frac{5}{6})^{4}

15 (\frac{1}{6})^{2} (\frac{5}{6})^{4} = \frac{3125}{15552}

= \frac{3125}{15552}
