Detailed Solution

Let p=probability of getting an even number on a single throw of the die

and let X=number of times an even number is obtained,

then X~B(2np)

Now, P=(Xn)

           =kn2nP(X=k)=kn2n 2nCk122n=A22n

where A=2nCn+2nCn+1++2nC2n    (1)

         A=2nCn+2nCn1++2nC0     (2)

Adding (1) and (2) we get

     2A=k=02n 2nCk+2nCn=22n+2nCn A=22n1+12 2nCn

Thus, P=12+122n+1 2nCnP>12

    Also,  2nCn=(2n)!n!n!

          =(1)(2)(3)(4)(2n1)(2n)n!n!=2n(n!)[(1)(3)(5)(2n1)]n!n!

         =22n1n3254762n12n222n1n

From (3), we get

      P12+14n

For  n=4,P=12+129 8C4=12+7029=163256

and for n=5,P=12+1211 10C5=319512
