Paragraph:
A fair die is tossed repeatedly until a six is obtained. Let \(X\) denotes the number of tosses required.Question:
The probability that \(X \geq 3\) equals
- A
\(\frac{125}{216}\)
- B
\(\frac{25}{36}\)
- C
\(\frac{5}{36}\)
- D
\(\frac{25}{216}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B)
\(\frac{25}{36}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P(X \geq 3)=\frac{5}{6} \cdot \frac{5}{6} \cdot 1=\frac{25}{36}\)
