I just can't figure this one out:
Throw 5 times a dice with 6 sides colored in: blue, red, yellow, green, orange (5 colors)
- How many possibles answers for getting at least one cube with '3'?
- Exactly one cube with '2', and exactly one with with '4'?
I don't understand what the colors has to do with the numbers of the dice. I would be very grateful if someone explained what is the difference
You are throwing five dice each with a distinct colour and six-sides. The colours are mentioned to clarify that the dice are distinguishable, and thus that order matters when counting distinct outcomes. That is all.
Hint: Use Complements.
Hint: Count ways to select colours for each of these numbers, and multiply ways the remaining colours can have non-2-or-4 results.
