The correct option is the third option: [ANSWER]
Explanation:
Consider a six-sided die. There are six faces out of which only one face has the number 5. Thus, the probability of rolling a 5 on a roll of a six-sided die is given by:
P(rolling a 5) = (Number of faces with number 5) / (Total number of faces) = 1/6
Now, we are given that we roll eight six-sided dice, let X denote the number of fives rolled.
Now, since there is a fixed number of dice (equal to 8), each
die has two outcome (rolling a 5 and not rolling a 5) and each die
rolls a 5 with probability 1/6 independently of other dice, thus we
can conclude that:
X ~ Binomial(n = 8, p = 1/6) and the probability mass function of X
is given by:
Thus, the probability or chance that we rolled exactly two fives is given by:
