Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution: Compute the number of favorable and total outcomes.
Total outcomes = 6^6 = 46,656.
Favorable outcomes = number of ways to get all six different faces = permutations of 1–6 = 6! = 720.
Probability = 6! / 6^6 = 720 / 46,656 = 5 / 324.
Alternate view (sequential multiplication): (6/6)·(5/6)·(4/6)·(3/6)·(2/6)·(1/6) = 720 / 46,656 = 5 / 324.
Answer: 5/324.
