Binomial Probability

Question 1 • College Prep Math B - IC26

If you roll a pair of dice 100 times over the course of a game, what is the probability that you will have rolled doubles, at any point, exactly three times?

Answer
A
0.167
B
0.5
C
0.00463
D
0.0000156

Explanation

A roll of two dice is doubles with probability 6/36 = 1/6, so the probability of not rolling doubles is 5/6. For exactly 3 doubles in 100 rolls, use the binomial probability: C(100, 3)(1/6)^3(5/6)^97, which is approximately 0.0000156. The best answer is d, 0.0000156.
