      Question

      Four 6-faced dice are rolled together. The probability

      that exactly three of the four numbers are equal is:Β Β 
      A 7/51 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5/51 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5/54 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 7/54 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      1. Choose the number that appears three times
        • There are 6 possible numbers (1 to 6), so we can choose any one of them β†’ 6 choices
      2. Choose the die that shows a different number
        • Out of 4 dice, choose 1 die to be different β†’ 4 choices
      3. Choose a number for the odd die
        • It must be different from the triplet number, so β†’ 5 choices
      So total favorable outcomes: [ 6 (triplet number) Γ— 4 (which die is different) Γ— 5 (odd value) = 120 ] Total Possible Outcomes: Each die has 6 faces β†’
      Total outcomes = (6^4 = 1296) Final Probability: [ 120/296 = 5/54 ] C. 5/54
