An experiment consist of rolling 3 fair dice (1 red die, a blue die, and a white die) and recording the number rolled on each di

e. Assume that the dice are fair, so that all outcomes are equally likely.

In 1, t<span>here are 6 outcomes for each die, so for three dice, the total combination is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 outcomes. Hence, t</span><span>he probability of any individual outcome is 1/216 </span>

The outcomes that will add up to 6 are 
<span>1+1+4 </span>
<span>1+4+1 </span>
<span>4+1+1 </span>
<span>1+2+3 </span>
<span>1+3+2 </span>
<span>2+1+3 </span>
<span>2+3+1 </span>
<span>3+1+2 </span>
<span>3+2+1 </span>
<span>2+2+2 </span>

<span>Hence the probability is </span><span>10/216 </span>

In 3, the minimum sum of the three dice is 3. so we start with this 
<span>P(n = 3) </span>
<span>1+1+1 ; </span><span>1/216 </span>

<span>P(n = 4) </span>
<span>1+1+2 </span>
<span>1+2+1 </span>
<span>2+1+1 ; </span><span>3/216 </span>

<span>P(n = 5) </span>
<span>1+1+3 </span>
<span>1+3+1 </span>
<span>3+1+1 </span>
<span>1+2+2 </span>
<span>2+1+2 </span>
<span>2+2+1; </span><span>6/216 

The sum in 3 is 10/216 or 5/108</span>
