total number of outcomes =64 =1296 (As there are 4 outcomes possible on each roll)

a)P(X>=4)=P(X=4)+P(X=5)+P(X=6)=65/1296+15/1296+1/1296=81/1296

b)

Pmf of X:

P(X=1)=P(at least one dice show 1)=1-P(no dice show 1)=1-(5/6)4 =671/1296

P(X=2)=P(one dice from 6 have 2 and other three have 2 or more)

=P(all dice shows 2 or more-all dice show 3 or more)=(54-44)/64 =369/1296

P(X=3)=(44-34)/64 =175/1296

P(X=4)=(34-24)/64 =65/1296

P(X=5)=(24-14)/64 =15/1296

P(X=6)=1/1296

from above mean=1.7554

Var(X)=0.9101
