Q78 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2023 (15 May Shift 1) · Mathematics
If four dice are thrown simultaneously, then the probability that none of the dice shows the number 1 on its face, is
- Correct answerA$\frac{625}{1296}$
- B$\frac{125}{648}$
- C$\frac{1250}{1296}$
- D$\frac{625}{2592}$
Solution
Since there are 6 total samples. Hence the probability of getting number 1 on face $=\frac{1}{6}$
$\therefore$ Probability of not getting number 1 on face of a dice $=1-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}$
Since 4 dice are thrown simultaneously. Hence probability of not getting number 1 on face of any of the dice
$$
=\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)=\frac{625}{1296}
$$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
