Final answer:

The probability of rolling three dice and getting results less than 4 on each is 1/8 or 0.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a number less than 4 on a single die is 3/6, since there are 3 numbers (1, 2, and 3) that satisfy the condition out of the 6 possible outcomes. When rolling three dice, each die's result is independent of the others.

To find the probability that all three results are less than 4, we multiply the probabilities of each individual die rolling less than 4:

P(A) = (3/6) * (3/6) * (3/6) = 1/8 = 0.125
