4 men throw a die each simultaneously. Find the probability that at least 2 people get the same number
a. 5/18
b. 13/18
c. 1/36
d. 1/2
Read Solution (Total 5)

- Explanation:
The number of ways of rolling a dice where no two numbers probability that no one rolls the same number = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3
Now total possibilities of rolling a dice = 64
The probability that a no one gets the same number = 6×5×4×3 / 6^4 = 5/18
So the probability that at least two people gets same number = 1−5/18=13/18 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(21) No(5)
- b)13/18
P=1-(6*5*4*3)/(6*6*6*6) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- ans is option B=13/18
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- 6. If 3
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- Let's first find the probability that all the people get different numbers.
Outcome of each die can be any of the 6 numbers. Therefore,

First die can give any of the 6 numbers
Second die can give any of the remaining 5 numbers
Third die can give any of the remaining 4 numbers
Fourth die can give any of the remaining 3 numbers
Therefore, total favorable outcomes 6×5×4×3
