Question

If you throw 3 dice, the probability of getting 3 sixes is 0.5%. The probability of getting no sixes is 57.9%. Find the probability of getting:
A) fewer than 3 sixes
B) at least 1 six

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 99.5%

B) 42.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Since the probability of 3 sixes is 0.5%, the probability of less than 3 sixes (that is, zero, one, or two sixes) is 100% - 0.5%, or 99.5%

B ) Since the probability of no sixes is 57.9%, the probability of at least 1 six is 100% - 57.9%, or 42.1%
