    A fair die is tossed eight times. The probability that a third six is observed on the eighth throw, is   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2002

    A) \[\frac{^{7}{{C}_{2}}\times {{5}^{5}}}{{{6}^{7}}}\]           

    B) \[\frac{^{7}{{C}_{2}}\times {{5}^{5}}}{{{6}^{8}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{^{7}{{C}_{2}}\times {{5}^{5}}}{{{6}^{6}}}\]          

    D)           None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Probability of getting success, \[p=\frac{1}{2}\] an probability of failure, \[q=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\] Required probability \[{{=}^{7}}{{C}_{2}}{{\left( \frac{1}{6} \right)}^{2}}{{\left( \frac{5}{6} \right)}^{5}}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{^{7}{{C}_{2}}\times {{5}^{5}}}{{{6}^{8}}}\]
