This is the concept of probability, we are required to calculate for the probability of rolling a 4 with a single die four times in a row;
To solve this we proceed as follows;
The probability space of a die is x={1,2,3,4,5,6}
The probability of a die falling on any of this number is:
P(x)=1/6
Thus the probability of rolling a 4 with a single die four times which makes up mutually exclusive events will be:
1/6*1/6*1/6*1/6
=(1/6)^4
=1/1296
The answer is B] 1/1296
