    Probability of Four Fair Dice
    Hi all,

    I am having some problem with The Binomial Distribution.

    I am given some questions on this topic... I did find out the answer, but I am not sure whether I am right or not...


    Suppose there are four fair dice.

    Q1:
    The probability of getting exactly one 6's.

    A1:
    Due to those fare dice would show exact one 6's in different (4 ways)

    Isn't the answer is 4*[(1/6)^1]*[(5/6)^3] = 125/324 ?




    Q2:
    The probability of getting exactly two 6's.

    A2:
    There are 6 different order to have exactly two 6's

    Isn't the answer is 6*[(1/6)^2]*[(5/6)^2] = 25/216 ?


    Please give me some comment on it, thanks a lot.
