Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Five dice are thrown simultaneously. A success is getting an even number (2, 4, or 6) on a single die.
For a single die:
Probability of success (even number)
Probability of failure (odd number)
At most 3 successes means 0, 1, 2, or 3 successes.
Using the complement approach:
P(at most 3 successes) P(more than 3 successes)
Using the binomial probability formula with , , :
P(4 successes)
P(5 successes)
P(at most 3 successes)
Therefore, the probability of at most 3 successes is .
