This is how I calculated it:

$$5\times1/6\times3/6^{4}=0,15625$$

Could someone double check it (and correct me if I am wrong)?
Thx.

@Nurali, thanks for posting final result, but could you please provide the whole calculation? I would like to identify the mistake I made. Thx

(1/6*3/6*3/6*3/6*3/6)*5=5*81/6^5
5 is multiplied bcoz 1/6 can com at any postion and their are 5 positions

Thx gorv, I solved it the same way you did, but I obviously made a mistake when I was multiplying numerators of the fractions, which led to the wrong result.

Hi njux!
So... as formula was above, you can see calculation result: 0.052
Good luck!
