Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of getting a 3 on each die is  $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

The sample space for tossing two dice is 12

i.e the first die={1,2,3,4,5,6}= 6

and the second die = {1,2,3,4,5,6}= 6

making a total of 12 sample spaces.

Step two

Hence the probability of getting a 3 on each side is

pr(3 on each side) = $\frac{1}{6} +\frac{1}{6}$

pr(3 on each side) = $\frac{1+1}{6}$ = $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

pr(3 on each side) = $\frac{1}{3}$
