Suppose 5 fair die are rolled simultaneously? What is the probability that at least three of the dice show the same number?
Please include detailed steps and explanation
Probability that at least three of the 5 dice shows the same
number is computed here as:
= Probability that exactly 3 show the same number and rest 2 are
different from that number and different from each other +
Probability that 3 show the same number and rest 2 are also same
numbers + Probability that 4 dice show the same number +
Probability that all show the same number
Therefore 0.2130 is the required probability here.
