Statistics And Probability Question 26

Question: Two dice are thrown n times in succession. The probability of obtaining a double - six at least once is

Options:

A) $ {{( \frac{1}{36} )}^{n}} $

B) $ 1-{{( \frac{35}{36} )}^{n}} $

C) $ {{( \frac{1}{12} )}^{n}} $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • [b] The probability of getting a double - six in one throw $ =\frac{1}{36} $ The probability of not getting a double - six in One throw $ =1-\frac{1}{36}=\frac{35}{36} $ So the probability of not getting a double-six in n throw $ ={{( \frac{35}{36} )}^{n}} $
    $ \therefore $ Probability of obtaining a double - six at least once $ =1-{{( \frac{35}{36} )}^{n}} $
