Do you know it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how many ways can you have no 3 on the first face?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
For one die
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
there are 5 ways not to get a 3
should be 5/6

right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so 5/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
similarly, there is a 5/6 chance for the second die , not to get a 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now you multiply 5/6 * 5/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
31.36

no 25/36
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in symbols
P( 1st die is not 3 & 2nd die is not 3) = P( 1st die is not 3) * P( 2nd die is not 3)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because the events are indepenent
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so that's the answer and thank you very much i m not good at math

your welcome
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so if i roll a three i would do 3/6
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
I think this questions needs to state what numbers are on the dice before asking for the probability of no 3
if 3 isn't on the dice the the probability would be zero
