  1. A six-faced fair dice is rolled five times. The probability (in%) of obtaining "ONE" at least four times is
    1. 33.3
    2. 3.33
    3. 0.33
    4. 0.0033
Correct Option: C

A dice is rolled 5 times
n = 5
P = (Probability of getting 1) = 1/6

0% q = 1 - p = 1 -

Probability of getting 1 at least 4 times is
P(x ≥ 4) = P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)
= nC4p4qn-4 + nC5p5qn-5[∵ nCrpxqn-x
= 5C4p4q0
