Hello, I have two questions regarding probaility, i was hoping some body can help me out.
I know that this is a "Physics Forum" However, i thought somebody might still beable to help :)
When rolling 5 distinuishable dice, find the probability that there are two different values?
I did this by (6 x 5 x 4)/2 x ( 5 ) = 1800
(2 2 1)
and the probability is 1800/(6^5) = 0.23148
Now, I am wondering WHY do you divide the (6 x 5 x 4) by 2?
