Concept:

Permutations with Repetition = nr

Where n is the number of things to choose from r different things when repetition is allowed, and order matters.

Favorable cases = Total cases - Unfavorable cases

Calculation:

According to the question

Four dies are rolled 

So, Total Possible number of outcomes = 64

Now, Total outcomes when no 2 appears = 54

Now, From the concept used

Favorable cases = 64 - 54

⇒ 1296 - 625

⇒  671

∴ The number of possible outcomes in which at least one die shows 2 is 671.
