A dice was thrown for 6 times.What is the probability that at least 5 was shown for 5 or more times?
2/6 and 4/6 = 1/3 and 2/3MarkFL said:Suppose we throw a die one time, what is the probability that at least a 5 is shown? What is the probability that less than 5 is shown?

In this context, probability refers to the likelihood or chance of a specific outcome occurring. It is often expressed as a decimal, fraction, or percentage.
The probability of at least 5 being shown is calculated by dividing the number of desired outcomes (in this case, 5 or more) by the total number of possible outcomes. This is known as the probability formula: P(A) = desired outcomes / total outcomes.
"At least" means that the desired outcome can occur equal to or more than the specified number of times. In this case, it could be 5, 6, 7, and so on. "Exactly" means that the desired outcome must occur exactly the number of times specified, in this case, 5 times.
The number of trials has a direct impact on the probability of at least 5 being shown. As the number of trials increases, the probability of at least 5 being shown also increases. This is because with more trials, there are more opportunities for the desired outcome to occur.
No, the probability of at least 5 being shown can never be 100%. This is because there is always a possibility of other outcomes occurring, even if it is a very small chance. However, as the number of trials increases, the probability can approach 100% but will never reach it.
