Four people each roll a die once. Find the probability that at least two people will roll the same number?
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- atleast 2 means
1-p(no one has same number)
p(no person has same number)=6*5*4*3/6^4=10/36
reqd probability=1-10/36
=26/36=13/18

- For at least 2 there will be 3 cases
case 1 : 2 people having same number on dice 1/6*1/6*5/6*5/6,
as these 4 can be arranged in 4P2 ways net probability is 150/6^4
case 2 : 3 people having same number on dice, we get 20/6^4
case 3 : 4 people having same number , 1/6^4
hence ans is 171/6^4 or (4P2+4P3+4P4)/6^4 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(6)
- 4c2+4c3+4c4/6^4

- Two are same: 4c2
Three are same: 4c3
all Four are same: 4c4
Total chances: 6^4
so;
4c2+4c3+4c4/6^4 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(7)
- total ways-no of ways when all nos are different=no of ways when atleast two people have same no
so this will be=
6c1*6c1*6c1*6c1 - 6c1*5c1*4c1*3c1
probability= this expression divided by total ways
ans= 6c1*6c1*6c1*6c1 - 6c1*5c1*4c1*3c1 / 6c1*6c1*6c1*6c1 = 13/18 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
