Suppose you role 3 fair dice. What is the probability that you will get a 5 on at least one dice?
Solution
Suppose you role 3 fair dice. What is the probability that you will get a 5 on at least one dice?
E be the event that the face 5 will show up at least once.
We know that the sample space S has 63 outcomes
Event not E = getting not 5
So the number of outcomes in (not E) = 53.
So, the probability
P(not E) = (# of outcomes in (not E))/(# of outcomes in S) = 53/63=125/216.
So,
P(E) = 1 - P(not E) = 1 - 125/216 = 91/216 =0.4213
