							Assume X = rolling a 6 (also / indicates a fraction, ^ indicates exponent)
 
 for a) P(X=1)= (6C1)(1/6)^1(1- 1/6)^6-1
 = (6C1)(1/6)(5/6)^5
 = (6)(1/6)(3125/7776)
 = 3125/7776
 Therefore the probability of rolling a 6 in exactly one of the six throws is 3125/7776
 
 for b)
 P(X > or = 1)= 1- P(X=0)
 =1- ((6C0)(1/6)^0(1-1/6)^6-0)
 =1- ((1)(1)(5/6)^6)
 =1- ((1)(1)(.334897976))
 =1-(.334897976)
 = .665102023
 Therefore the probability of rolling at least 1 six in six rolls is .665
