A number cube is rolled three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort OEE (meaning an odd number on the first r

oll, an even number on the second roll, and an even number on the third roll). The outcomes are listed in the table below. Note that each outcome has the same probability.

The probability of occurrence for the events A, B and C is; 1/4.

<h3>What is the probability of occurrence of.the described events?</h3>

For the first event A in which case, there's no odd number on the first two rolls, the possible events are; EEE and EEO. Consequently, the required probability is;

Event A = 2/8 = 1/4.

For the event B in which case, there's an even number on both the first and last rolls; the possible events are; EEE and EOE. Consequently, the required probability is;

Event B = 2/8 = 1/4.

For the event C in which case, there's an odd number on each of the first two rolls; the possible events are; OOO and OOE. Consequently, the required probability is;

Event C = 2/8 = 1/4.
