Question

A ordinary cube has four plane faces, one face marked 2 and another face marked 3, find the probability of getting a total of 7 in 5 throws.

✓

Answer

A cube has total 6 faces.
Total possible outcomes in 5 throws = 6 × 6× 6 × 6 × 6 = (6)⁵
The only way of getting 7 is by getting two 2s and one 3.
Total possible ways $=\frac{\text{P}^5_3}{2!}$
$=\frac{5\times4\times3\times2\times1}{2\times1\times2\times1}$
$=30$
Now,
P(getting 7 in 5 throws) $=\frac{30}{6^5}=\frac{5}{6^4}$
