Answer :

Cara has a 25/216 chance of waiting until her third throw before throwing a six.

Define the term sample space?

  • A sample space is a set of potential results from a random experiment.
  • The letter "S" is used to denote the sample space.
  • Events are the subset among possible experiment results.
  • Depending on the experiment, a sample area could contain a variety of results.

for the stated question-

Total times the dice is thrown = 3.

Total number of sample space = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216.

The probability of coming six = 1/6

The probability of not coming six = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.

Probability of getting 6 in third throw = 5/6 x 5/6 x 1/6

Probability of getting 6 in third throw = 25/216

Thus, Cara has a 25/216 chance of waiting until her third throw before throwing a six.
