Probabilities of draws with replacement

Sample Question

A fair die is rolled 6 times. What is the probability that a 6 is obtained on at least one of the rolls? Round your
answer to three decimal places.

Explanation

Note that, in 6 rolls of the die, there will be either no rolls of 6 or at least one roll of 6. Therefore, using the
complement rule, we write

P at least one 6 among the 6 rolls = 1 − P no 6 among the 6 rolls

5
For each roll, the probability of rolling something different from 6 will be , since this event amounts to rolling
6
one of the five numbers other than 6. Since all 6 rolls are independent, we have

6
5
P no 6 among the 6 rolls = .
6
Therefore,

P at least one 6 among the 6 rolls = 1 − P no 6 among the 6 rolls
