Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The probability of rolling a 3 is 1 in 6 . The probability of rolling a 3 two times in a row is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36.
Detailed explanation-2: -What are the chances of getting a number within the range of 1-6 inclusive, when rolling a six-faced die? Correct. There are six wanted outcomes (the numbers 1-6) out of six possible outcomes (the numbers 1-6). Use the probability formula: 6/6 = 1.
Detailed explanation-3: -The odds of rolling two number cubes and getting a sum of seven is 1/6.
Detailed explanation-4: -As the event is an equally likely event so there is some possibility of getting any number in this case it is either 1/6 in fair dice rolling.
