Let's first find the probability that all the people get different numbers.
Outcome of each die can be any of the 6 numbers. Therefore,
Total number of outcomes =64
First die can give any of the 6 numbers
Second die can give any of the remaining 5 numbers
Third die can give any of the remaining 4 numbers
Fourth die can give any of the remaining 3 numbers
Therefore, total favorable outcomes 6×5×4×3
P(all people get different numbers) =6×5×4×364=518
P(at least 2 people get the same number) =1−518=1318

here is your answer.....
probability when die rolled 1st time=6C1 i.e. (1,2,3,4,5,6)
suppose 1 comes, then 2nd time it should not be .as it is given that no 2 people will roll same number.
so 2nd time probability=5C1 i.e. (2,3,4,5,6)
same way 3rd and 4th time probability=4C1 and 3C1 respectively.
probability that no one rolls the same no. = 6*5*4*3
and total possibility =6^4
p(same number)= 6*5*4*3/ 6^4
= 5/18
p(no same number will roll)=1-5/18
=13/18
