Answer: A. 279936 sequences.

B. 2187 sequence.

C. 7776 sequence.

D. 46656 sequence

E. 64 sequence.

Explanation:

Given data:

A 6 sided fair die

No of time rolled = 7

Resulting sequence recorded = 7.

Solution.

A.) No of different possible sequence

= 6^7

= 279936 sequences.

B.) Sequence consisting of only even number

= there are 3 even numbers between 1 and 7 ( 2,4,6).

= 3^7

= 2187 sequence.

C.) possible sequences are when the first, third, and fourth numbers must be the same.

= 6* 6 ^n

where n = 4

= 6*6^4

= 7776 sequence.

D.) sequence when every number is different.

There are 6 sides of a die, so when every number is different it is.

= 6^6

= 46656 sequence

E.) sequence when atleast there are two numbers that are the same.

= 2^6

= 64 sequence.
