Answer :

0.33

Solution :

A dice is rolled 5 times

                                            n=5 7

                                           P = (Probability of getting 1) = 1/6

                                           q = 1- 1/6 = 5/6

              Probability of getting 1 at least 4 times is

                     P(x ≥ 4) = P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)

                                   =  nC4p4qn-4 +  nC5p5 qn-5

                                    =  nC4p4q + 5C5 p5 q0

                                    =   5*(1/6)4(5/6)+ 1*(1/6)5*(5/6)0

                                    =    25/(6)5 + 1/(6)5 = 26/65  = 0.0033

                                     % probability = 0.338%
