Five dice are thrown simultaneously. If ...

Five dice are thrown simultaneously. If the occurrence of 3, 4 or 5 in a single die is considered a success, find the probability of at least 3 successes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let` X` denote the occurrence of` 3,4 or 5 `in a single die.
Then, `X f`ollows binomial distribution with` n=5`.
Let `p=` probability of getting `3,4 , or 5 `in a single die.
`p=frac{3}{6}=frac{1}{2} `
`q=1-frac{1}{2}=frac{1}{2} `
`P(X=r)=^{5} C_{r}(frac{1}{2})^{r}(frac{1}{2})^{5-r} `
P(text { at least }` 3 text { successes })=P(X geq 3) `
`=P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5) `
