    Step-by-step explanation:

    The probability of rolling exactly one 6 depends on how many times the dice is rolled. Using binomial probability:

    P = nCr p^r q^ (n-r)

    where n is the number of trials,

    r is the number of successes,

    p is the probability of success,

    and q is the probability of failure (1-p).

    Here, r = 1 and p = 1/5.

    P = nC₁ (1/5) ¹ (4/5) ⁿ⁻¹

    P = n (1/5) (4/5) ⁿ⁻¹

    If the dice is rolled one time, the probability of exactly one 6 is:

    P = 1 (1/5) (4/5) ¹⁻¹

    P = 1/5

    If the dice is rolled two times, the probability of exactly one 6 is:

    P = 2 (1/5) (4/5) ²⁻¹

    P = 8/25

    So on and so forth.
