A number cube is rolled three times. What is the probability of rolling three even numbers?

ziro4ka [17]

It depends on how many numbers are on the cube. If the cube goes up to five then you have a 2/5 chance to roll an even number one time. If the dice goes up to 10 then you have 5/10 chance of rolling an even number.
