What is the probability of rolling a 4 at least once with 2 dice after 7 tries? Please help, this is confusing
The probability of rolling a 4 at least once after 7 tries is = 1 - P(no 4's are rolled in 7 tries)
The probabilty of rolling a 4 with two dice = 3/36 = 1/12
So.....the probabilty of not rolling a 4 on one roll = 11/12
And the probability that no 4s are rolled in 7 tries = (11/12)^7 = about 54.3%
So....the probability that at least one four is thrown in 7 tries - 1 - 54% = about 45.7%
