Correct Answer :

Option C

0.33

Solution :

The correct option is 0.33.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let X be the random variable representing the number of times "ONE" is obtained when a six-faced fair die is rolled 5 times. Since each roll is independent and has the same probability of success, X follows a binomial distribution:
X~Binomial(n,p)

The parameter values are:
Number of trials, n=5
Probability of obtaining "ONE" in a single roll (success), p=16
Probability of not obtaining "ONE" in a single roll (failure), q=1-p=56

The probability of getting exactly k successes in n trials is given by the binomial probability formula:
P(X=k)=nkpkqn-k
where nk=n!k!(n-k)! is the binomial coefficient.

We want to find the probability of obtaining "ONE" at least four times, which is P(X4):
P(X4)=P(X=4)+P(X=5)

Let's calculate each term:
1) For k=4:
P(X=4)=54164561
P(X=4)=5×11296×56=257776

2) For k=5:
P(X=5)=55165560
P(X=5)=1×17776×1=17776

Now, we add the two probabilities:
P(X4)=257776+17776=267776=133888
P(X4)0.0033436

Converting the probability to percentage:
Percentage=0.0033436×100%0.33%
