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

    A) \[\frac{^{20}{{C}_{10}}\times {{5}^{6}}}{{{6}^{20}}}\]

    B) \[\frac{120\times {{5}^{7}}}{{{6}^{10}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{84\times {{5}^{6}}}{{{6}^{10}}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Desired probability = Probability of getting 3 sixes in first 9 throws \[\times \]getting six in the 10 throw\[={{\,}^{9}}{{C}_{3}}{{\left( \frac{1}{6} \right)}^{3}}{{\left( \frac{5}{6} \right)}^{6}}\times \frac{1}{6}\]
