SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the probability of achieving 4 distinct face values when rolling 4 dice, specifically addressing the miscalculation of probabilities for distinct outcomes. The user correctly identifies the probability formulas for events E_4, E_3, and E_2, but realizes that they have overcounted the scenario of rolling two distinct face values (x,x,y,y). The correct probability for each event must sum to 1, but the user finds a discrepancy with a total of 77/72, indicating an error in their counting method.

Homework Statement


Compute the probability of achieving 4 distinct face values when you roll 4 dice at most twice.

The Attempt at a Solution


Let Ei denote the event of rolling i distinct face values. Then:
P(E_4) = \frac{6 \cdot 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3}{6^4}

A roll of 3 distinct face values would look like (x,x,y,z). So there would be \binom{4}{2} choices for the repeat value to appear, and:
P(E_3) = \frac{\binom{4}{2} 6 \cdot 5 \cdot 4}{6^4}

A roll of 2 distinct face values would look like (x,x,y,y), or (x,x,x,y). So:
P(E_3) = \frac{\binom{4}{2} 6 \cdot 5 + \binom{4}{3} 6 5}{6^4}

There are six ways to roll (x,x,x,x). So:
P(E_3) = \frac{6}{6^4}

I need to check that \sum_{i=1}^4 P(E_i) = 1. But:
\sum_{i=1}^4 P(E_i) = 77/72

Would some be so kind to tell me how I've counted wrong?

So I've identified the problem. I counted (x,x,y,y) twice.
