    The probability of getting a total of at least 6 in the simultaneously throw of three dice is

    A)  \[6/108\]        

    B)  \[5/27\]

    C)  \[1/24\]         

    D)  \[103/108\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Total number of cases \[={{6}^{3}}=216\] Let A denote the event of getting at least \[6,\bar{A}\] will denote the event of getting less than 6 for three dice \[\therefore \]   \[\bar{A}=\{(1,1,1),(1,1,2),(1,1,3),(1,2,1),\] \[(1,3,1),(2,1,2),(1,2,2),(2,2,1),\] \[(2,1,1),(3,1,1)\}\] \[n(\bar{A})=10\] Probability of getting less than \[6=\frac{10}{216}=\frac{5}{108}\] Now,  \[P(A)=1-P(\bar{A})=1-\frac{5}{108}=\frac{103}{108}\]
