whats ur choices??

Answer 2

We are not given any other choices.The question is as I have mentioned

Answer 3

2/6

Answer 4

1/3

Answer 5

How?

Answer 6

how many times the die have rolled, u have to mention it

Answer 7

That's what is confusing me. It's not mentiooned in the question.

Answer 8

if just 2 times, it means the propability for
the first roll, the event not 1 = 5/6
for the 2nd roll, the event 1 = 1/6
so, the event of it = 5/6 * 1/6 = 5/36

Answer 9

And similarly if I am to calculate it for the third roll,it should be 5/6 * 5/6 * 1/6=25/216

Answer 10

yes...

Answer 11

because the events are independent, so just multiply of them
