Calvin is playing a game that requires him to roll a fair die repeatedly until she first rolls a 1, at which point he must stop rolling the die. What is the probability that Calvin will roll the die less than four times before stopping?
I know the answer is 1/6+(5/6x1/6)+(5/6x5/6x1/6)=91/216
Where I have problem is (5/6x1/6)and (5/6x5/6x1/6).
Can someone help to understand these two parts?
Thank you!
