Did you attempt this problem on your paper?   Sebastian is rolling an unfair six-sided die where the probability of rolling a 3 is 24%.  Suppose he rolls this die 15 times and keeps count of the number of 3s that are rolled. a) What is the probability that at the end of the 15 rolls, Sebastian has rolled 3 six times exactly? b)  What is the probability that at the end of the 15 rolls, five or fewer 3s are rolled? c)  What is the probability that at the end of the 15 rolls, Sebastian has rolled at least ten 3s?
