Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that X=the number of times rolled on the number 4

n=sample size=2

p=probability of success=14=0.25 (because it is a 4 sided die)

Using binomial distribution we get:

x binomial distribution probability
0 (2C0)0.250(1-0.25)2 0.5625
1 (2C1)0.251(1-0.25)1 0.375
2 (2C2)0.252(1-0.25)0 0.0625
total  1 1
