Suppose a fair six sided die has been relabeled so that the 6 is replaced with another 5,i.e., the sides read 1,2,3,4,5,5. If the die is rolled five times, what is the probability that we roll five distinct values

Respuesta :

Answer:

P(rolling five distinct values) = 1/3888

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that I the fair sided dice, 6 is replaced with 5.

Thus,the numbers are now;

1,2,3,4,5,5.

This means a total of 6 possible numbers appearing.

Now, in these 6 numbers there are only 5 distinct numbers since 5 occurs twice.

P(1) = 1/6

P(2) = 1/6

P(3) = 1/6

P(4) = 1/6

P(5) = 2/6

Thus,probability of rolling 5 distinct values = 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6 × 2/6 = 1/3888
