Probability

Question:

Six dice are thrown simultaneously. The probability that all of them show the same face, is

Options:

$\frac{1}{6^5}$

$\frac{6!}{6^6}$

$\frac{1}{6!}$

$\frac{5!}{6^6}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{6!}{6^6}$

Explanation:

The total number of ways in which all dice show different faces is same as the number of arrangements of 6 numbers 1, 2, 3, ,4 , 5, 6 by taking all at a time.

So, favourable number of elementary events = 6!

Hence, required probability = $\frac{6!}{6^6}$
