Question

Many people play a dice game in which 5 regular 6-sided dice are rolled.

a. What is the probability of rolling all “4”s? (Give answer as fraction or decimal to 4 decimal places).

  

b. What is the probability that all the dice come up the same number? (Give answer as fraction or decimal to 4 decimal places)

Expert Solution
Step 1 (a)

Consider X be the random variable representing the number of 6-sided dice among the 5 dices that shows 4. 

 

X will follow binomial distribution with n= 5 and p = 1/6 ( probability of obtaining 4 on any particular die) 

The probability of rolling all “4”s will be:
