Question

A fair die is rolled four times. A 2 is considered "success" while all other outcomes are failures" Find the probability of 0 successes

Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:

Let X be the number  of success on fair die

The probability of successes on fair die is p=16

The probability of failure  on fair die is q=1-p=1-16=56

n= 4 number of trial

Here we used binomial distribution because the number of trial n=4 is fixed, the probability of success is constant and trials are independent.

The random variable X has binomial distribution with parameter n= 4 and p= 16
