Here is my problem, I would like to know If I did it right or not.
Rolling 4 dice
A : The face is not "two"
B : The face is not "three" or not "two"
1)What is the probability that no "two" face appears
So each time we have 5/6 chance that we dont have the "two" face
$$ P(A)^4 = (5/6)^4 = 0.4823% $$
2)What is the probability that no "two" face or no "three" face appear
Using the same logic than before, we have 4/6 chance that we dont have the "two" or the "three" face
$$ P(B)^4 = (4/6)^4 = 0.1975 $$
3) What is the probability to have 2 pairs
The probability of having distinct pairs is
$$ 15/6^4 = 0.0115 $$
I was able to find 15 by calculating it manually, but I think I find it by using combinations, can someone explain it to me.
Thank you.
(1)&(2) are okay.
For (3): there are $\binom 62$ ways to select two from the six faces for the pairs, $\binom 42$ ways to select among the dice to place them, and the probability that each of the four die then obtains the selected face is $(1/6)^4$, so...
$$\binom 62\binom 42\frac 1{6^4} ~=~ \dfrac{90}{6^4}~=~\dfrac 5{72}$$
