Not according to my calcs! Well, aren't the odds effectively reset every throw which would make it 1 in six. Mind you, I'm shit at these things. Ask me a football one. |

Now you're just guessing. |

Now you're just guessing. Would binomial distribution apply? |

Would binomial distribution apply? No. It's very simple mathematics, but it's the initial reasoning where this is solved, i.e. working out what you have to work out is where this is solved. The clue I am giving is, instead of working out the answer to the question as stated, which seems quite hard on the surface, see if you can find an easier question to answer which, by implication, gives you the answer to the question being asked. Or.... what are the various possibilities for the number of 6's that can be rolled from the 3 rolls? |

Still too hard for @hux .
Perhaps he should get an education.

π²π΅, yggdrasil, I see I am going to have to provide clues here (as my puzzles consistently outsmart everyone). The possible outcomes are: 1. Zero sixes 2. One six 3. Two sixes 4. Three sixes The question is asking you to work out the probability of 2, 3 or 4 happening (aka getting at least one six). But how about working out the probability of 1 happening....? |
