(i) Using Bernoulli’s Trial P(Success=x) \(=n_{C_x}.p^x.q^{(n-x)}\)

x = 0, 1, 2, ………n and q = (1 - p), n = 7

The favourable outcomes,

(1,6), (6,1), (2,5), (5,2), (3,4), (4,3)

The probability of success \(=p=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)

q = \(\frac{5}{6}\)

probability of no success \(=7_{C_0}.(\frac{1}{6})^0(\frac{5}{6})^7\)

\(\Rightarrow\)\((\frac{5}{6})^7\)

(ii) Using Bernoulli’s Trial P(Success=x) \(=n_{C_x}.p^x.q^{(n-x)}\)

x = 0, 1, 2, ………n and q = (1 - p), n = 7

the favourable outcomes,

(1,6), (6,1), (2,5), (5,2), (3,4), (4,3)

The probability of success \(=p=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)

q = \(\frac{5}{6}\)

probability of exactly 6 successes \(=7_{C_6}.(\frac{1}{6})^6(\frac{5}{6})^1\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(35.(\frac{1}{6})^7\)

(iii) Using Bernoulli’s Trial P(Success=x) \(=n_{C_x}.p^x.q^{(n-x)}\)

x = 0, 1, 2, ………n and q = (1 - p), n = 7

the favourable outcomes,

(1,6), (6,1), (2,5), (5,2), (3,4), (4,3)

The probability of success \(=p=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)

q = \(\frac{5}{6}\)

probability of at least 6 successes =

(iv) Using Bernoulli’s Trial P(Success=x) \(=n_{C_x}.p^x.q^{(n-x)}\)

x = 0, 1, 2, ………n and q = (1 - p), n = 7

the favourable outcomes,

(1,6), (6,1), (2,5), (5,2), (3,4), (4,3)

The probability of success \(=p=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)

q = \(\frac{5}{6}\)

probability of at least 6 successes =
