Expert Solution
Step 1

“Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve the first three sub-parts for you. To get the remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.”

From the given information, four dice are rolled.

Total number of outcomes in the sample space is n(S) = 64 = 1296.

For a single die, the probability of getting any number (1, 2,…, 6) is,

 

P(1) = P(2) = P(3) = P(4) = P(5) = P(6) = 1/6

From the known information, all four dice were thrown independently.
