If a die is rolled 30 times there are 630 different sequence
If a die is rolled 30 times, there are 630 different sequences possible. The following question asks how many of these sequences satisfy certain conditions. HINT [Use the decision algorithm discussed in Example 3 of Section 6.3.] What fraction of these sequences have exactly five 1s? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Solution
p = 1/6 is the probability to get a 1 when rolling a dice
by applying bernoulis theorem
p(x=5) = 5 * p5 * (1-p)30-5
= 5 * (1/6)5 * (1-1/6)25
= 5 * (1/6)5 * (5/6)25
= 0.0000067
