EXPLANATION
For each of the three events, there are 8 possible outcomes, so the probability of each event is,
• Event A:, there must be only odd numbers in the last two rolls, which are either ,EOO or OOO,. This event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,so its probability is 1/4,.
,• Event B,: this is the complementary event to event A. Here the last two rolls must be even numbers - both or only one of the last two: ,OOE, EEO, EOE, OEE, EEE, OEO,. This event has 6 favorable outcomes, so ,its probability is 3/4,.
,• Event C,: this event is when the first and last rolls are even numbers in the same event. This is either ,EOE or EEE,. Since this event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,its probability is 1/4,.
