The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to verify two statements regarding probabilities related to rolling dice. ### Statement 1: Let \( X \) denote the number of sixes in 3 consecutive throws of a die. We need to find \( P(X = 3) \). **Step 1: Calculate the total outcomes when rolling a die three times.** - When a die is thrown, there are 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). - Therefore, when rolling a die three times, the total number of outcomes is: \[ 6^3 = 216 \] **Step 2: Determine the favorable outcomes for getting three sixes.** - The only favorable outcome for getting three sixes is (6, 6, 6). - Thus, the number of favorable outcomes is 1. **Step 3: Calculate the probability of getting three sixes.** - The probability \( P(X = 3) \) is given by the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes: \[ P(X = 3) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{216} \] **Conclusion for Statement 1:** - The statement \( P(X = 3) = \frac{1}{216} \) is **true**. ### Statement 2: We need to find the probability that the sum of the faces when three dice are rolled is 10. **Step 1: Calculate the total outcomes when rolling three dice.** - Similar to Statement 1, the total number of outcomes when rolling three dice is: \[ 6^3 = 216 \] **Step 2: Find the favorable outcomes for the sum being 10.** - We need to find combinations of three numbers (from 1 to 6) that add up to 10. The valid combinations are: 1. (4, 3, 3) 2. (5, 4, 1) 3. (5, 3, 2) 4. (6, 3, 1) 5. (6, 2, 2) **Step 3: Count the arrangements for each combination.** - (4, 3, 3): Arrangements = \( \frac{3!}{2!} = 3 \) - (5, 4, 1): Arrangements = \( 3! = 6 \) - (5, 3, 2): Arrangements = \( 3! = 6 \) - (6, 3, 1): Arrangements = \( 3! = 6 \) - (6, 2, 2): Arrangements = \( \frac{3!}{2!} = 3 \) **Step 4: Calculate the total number of favorable outcomes.** - Total favorable outcomes = \( 3 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 3 = 24 \) **Step 5: Calculate the probability of the sum being 10.** - The probability is given by: \[ P(\text{sum} = 10) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{24}{216} = \frac{1}{9} \] **Conclusion for Statement 2:** - The statement given in the question is \( \frac{9C7}{6^3} \). - \( 9C7 = \frac{9!}{7! \cdot 2!} = \frac{9 \cdot 8}{2} = 36 \). - Thus, \( \frac{9C7}{6^3} = \frac{36}{216} = \frac{1}{6} \), which is not equal to \( \frac{1}{9} \). - Therefore, Statement 2 is **false**. ### Final Conclusion: - Statement 1 is **true**. - Statement 2 is **false**.
