-The experiment is rolling five dice. Even E is {all five dice show different numbers}.

a) What is n(S)?

b) What is n(E)?

c) What is p(E)?

d) Describe the complement of E in words.

e) What n( E` )?

f) What is p(E` )?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that , the experiment is rolling five dice.

Hence , the total number of all possible outcomes in sample space S is 65=7776.

event E : All five dice show different numbers.

Step 2

a) The number of outcomes in sample space S is equal to n(S)=7776.

Step 3

b) event E : All five dice show different numbers.

The number of possible outcomes in event E is  P56=6!(6-5)!=720

Since the possible number in outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5 and  6. We require five number from this six numbers. All are different number ,hence we use permutation.

Therefore  n(E)=720
