Question

How do you solve this? If a die is rolled five times, find the probability of getting at least one 6.

Answer 1

are you saying 1/6th or just 1 6

Answer 2

the probability of rolling a six would be 5/6

Answer 3

since you are rolling it 5 times and there are 6 sides to a die

Answer 4

the probability of getting atleast 1 6 = 1- probability of getting none of the 6 in any of the 5 rolls
probability of not getting a 6 is 5/6
the probability of getting atleast 1 6 = 1-(5/6)^5
understood?

Answer 5

one "6"

Answer 6

u got how (5/6)^5 ?

Answer 7

got it! thanks

Answer 8

welcome ^_^

Answer 9

Using the binomial distribution the probability of throwing one 6 in five rolls is:\[P(one6)=\left(\begin{matrix}5 \\ 1\end{matrix}\right)\times \frac{1}{6}\times (\frac{5}{6})^{4}=(\frac{5}{6})^{5}\]
