  • question_answer
    Four fair dice are thrown simultaneously. Then the probability that the highest number obtained is 4 is

    A) \[\frac{175}{1296}\]      

    B)        \[\frac{275}{1296}\]

    C) \[\frac{85}{1296}\]       

    D)        \[\frac{75}{648}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] 4 must be obtained on at least one dice. x = number of dice on which 4 is obtained Required probability \[=P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)\] \[=\frac{^{4}{{C}_{1}}\times {{3}^{3}}}{{{6}^{4}}}+\frac{^{4}{{C}_{2}}\times {{3}^{2}}}{{{6}^{4}}}+\frac{^{4}{{C}_{3}}\times 3}{{{6}^{4}}}+\frac{1}{{{6}^{4}}}=\frac{175}{1296}\]
