Probability

Question:

A fair die is thrown twenty times. The probability that on the tenth throw the fourth six appears is:

Options:

$\frac{{^{20}C}_{10}×5^6}{6^{20}}$

$\frac{120×5^7}{6^{10}}$

$\frac{84×5^6}{6^{10}}$

None of these

Correct Answer:

$\frac{84×5^6}{6^{10}}$

Explanation:

Let success : getting '6' ; failure : no '6'

P(required) = ${^9C}_3(\frac{1}{6})^3(\frac{5}{6})^6.\frac{1}{6}=\frac{84×5^6}{6^{10}}$
