What is the probability that getting a total of the numbers on the dice is at least 23 ?

For the next two (02) items that follow : Four dice are rolled.

  1. A. \frac{1}{1296}
  2. B. \frac{1}{432}
  3. C. \frac{1}{324}
  4. D. \frac{5}{1296}

Correct Answer: D. \frac{5}{1296}

Explanation

The maximum sum is 24 (6,6,6,6), which occurs 1 way. A sum of 23 occurs with (5,6,6,6) and its permutations, which is 4 ways. Total ways = 5. Probability = 5/1296.
