Four dice are thrown simultaneously. Find the probability that all of them show the same face.

Correct Answer: 1/216

Explanation:

The total number of elementary events associated to the random experiments of throwing four dice simultaneously is:


 


6 * 6 * 6 * 6 = 6 4


 


n(S) =  6 4


 


Let X be the event that all dice show the same face. 


 


X = { (1,1,1,1,), (2,2,2,2), (3,3,3,3), (4,4,4,4), (5,5,5,5), (6,6,6,6)}


 


n(X) = 6


 


Hence required probability =  n ( X ) n ( S ) = 6 6 4  = 1 216
