What is the probability that it takes more than seven rolls of a fair $6$-sided die to roll a six?
The probability of rolling a six per roll is $1/6$. Therefore, the probability of rolling something other than a 6 is $5/6$.
So wouldn't the probability that you don't roll a six within the first $7$ rolls just be $(5/6)^7$?
