The probability that the cube never lands on 3 is (D) 23.3%.
<h3>
What is probability?</h3>
- A probability formula can be used to calculate the likelihood of an occurrence by simply dividing the favorable number of possibilities by the entire number of possible outcomes.
To find the probability that the cube never lands on 3:
Given -
Required
- Probability of not landing on 3.
First, we need to get the probability of landing on 3 in a single toss.
For a number cube,
- n(3) = 1 and n(total) = 6
So, the probability is P(3) = 1/6
First, we need to get the probability of not landing on 3 in a single toss.
Opposite probability = 1.
Make P(3') the subject of the formula.
- P(3') = 1 - P(3)
- P(3') = 1 - 1/6
- P(3') = 5/6
In 8 toss, the required probability is (P(3'))⁸
This gives:
- P = (5/6)⁸
- P = 390625/1679616
- P = 0.23256803936
Approximate to 1 decimal place, P = 23.3%.
Therefore, the probability that the cube never lands on 3 is (D) 23.3%.

The correct question is given below:
A number cube is tossed 8 times. What is the probability that the cube never lands on 3?
A. 6.0%
B. 10.4%
C. 16.7%
D. 23.3%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Use product rule.
2) Simplify 8 + 1 to 9.

You can just subtract them seperatly like this:
20-12=8
2/5-3/5= -1/5
Since its negative, you have to take 1 off of the final answer and put 4/5 so the answer is 7 4/5
Another way is making it a decimal
12 3/5= 12.6
20 2/5= 20.4
20.4-12.6= 7.8
7.8=7 4/5
