Four dice are thrown simultaneously. Find the probability that all of them show the same face.

A. $$\frac{{1}}{{216}}$$

B. $$\frac{{1}}{{36}}$$

C. $$\frac{{4}}{{216}}$$

D. $$\frac{{3}}{{216}}$$

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The total number of elementary events associated to the random experiments of throwing four dice simultaneously is:
$$\eqalign{ & = 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 = {6^4} \cr & n(S) = {6^4} \cr} $$
Let X be the event that all dice show the same face.
X = {(1, 1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2, 2), (3, 3, 3, 3), (4, 4, 4, 4), (5, 5, 5, 5), (6, 6, 6, 6)}
n(X) = 6
Hence required probability,
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{n(X)}}{{n(S)}} = \frac{6}{{{6^4}}} \cr & = \frac{1}{{216}} \cr} $$
