Question

A six-sided die is rolled seven times. What is the probability that the die will show an even number at least six times?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation

On a 6 sided die, there are three even numbers (2,4,6)

That's 1/2 the number on the die.

So getting 6 even numbers is

P(6) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 0.00781

Where did that extra 1/2 come from? Well one of the numbers thrown was an odd number, and it has to be counted.

P(7) = the same answer.                            0.00781

Total                                                           0.0156
