A pair of dice is thrown 5 times. If getting a total of 7 is considered a success, then

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-ILIST-II
A. Probability of no successI. 26(16)526\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^5
B. Probability of 5 successesII. 2(56)52\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\right)^5
C. Probability of at least 4 successesIII. (16)5\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^5
D. Probability of at most one successIV. (56)5\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\right)^5

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

A sum of 7 occurs in 6 of 36 ways, so p=16p=\dfrac{1}{6}, q=56q=\dfrac{5}{6}, n=5n=5.

No success: (56)5\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\right)^5 (IV). Five successes: (16)5\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^5 (III).

At least 4: 5⋅565+165=26(16)55\cdot\dfrac{5}{6^5}+\dfrac{1}{6^5} = 26\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^5 (I).

At most one: (56)5+5⋅16(56)4=2(56)5\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\right)^5+5\cdot\dfrac{1}{6}\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\right)^4 = 2\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\right)^5 (II).
