Question:

Solution:

A die has 6 faces with numbers 1 through 6. Three faces have even numbers, and 3 faces have odd numbers.

Each roll of the die can result in 6 different outcomes.

The total number of different outcomes of rolling a die 3 times are 6 * 6 * 6 = 216.

There are 3 possible even number outcomes on the first roll and another 3 possible even number outcomes on the second roll. The third roll needs to be a 3, so there is one single desired outcome of the third roll.

Total number of desired outcomes: 3 * 3 * 1 = 9

probability(even, even, 3) = 9/216 = 1/24

So the correct answer (there is an error in the typography) would be 124.
