Question

Using the slot method and multiple cases, calculate the probability that you would roll 3 sixes.

Answer 1

P = 1/216

the probability that you would roll 3 sixes is 1/216

Explanation:

For a given dice, there are six possibilities.

We have;

1,2,3,4,5,6

The probability of rolling a six(6) is;

P(6) = 1/6

Then, the probability of rolling 3 sixes is a multiple of the P(6), given as;

P = P(6) × P(6) × P(6)

P = 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6

P = 1/216

the probability that you would roll 3 sixes is 1/216
