  • Probability of rolling all 6 dice faces
  • Probability of rolling all 6 dice faces [FINALIZED]
  • The probability of rolling every number from 1 to 6 with $N$ six-sided dice.
  • ## Input
  • - A positive integer $N$.
  • - Your code must work for inputs up to and including 10, but may crash, error, or give incorrect output for larger inputs.
  • ## Output
  • - A probability, $0 \le p \le 1$
  • - This is the probability of seeing every number from 1 to 6 at least once after rolling $N$ six-sided dice simultaneously.
  • - For inputs up to and including 10, your output is valid if rounding it to 6 decimal places results in the output shown in the test cases.
  • *Note that this means that if you find an incorrect algorithm that happens to give the correct result when rounded to 6 decimal places for inputs from 1 to 10, that is still a valid entry.*
  • ## Test cases
  • - Test cases are in the format `input : output`.
  • ```text
  • 1 : 0
  • 2 : 0
  • 3 : 0
  • 4 : 0
