Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze each event and determine the outcomes that meet the conditions described.
Outcomes List
The outcomes are as follows:
- EOE
- OEE
- EEE
- OOE
- EOO
- OEO
- EEO
- OOO
Each outcome is represented by three letters, where:
- "E" stands for an even number.
- "O" stands for an odd number.
Event A: "Two or more even numbers"
To satisfy this event, at least two of the three rolls must be even. The outcomes that meet this condition are:
- EOE
- OEE
- EEE
- EEO
Thus, check the boxes for EOE, OEE, EEE, and EEO. The probability of Event A is the count of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes:
Event B: "An even number on both the first and the last rolls"
To satisfy this event, the first and third rolls must be even. The outcomes that meet this condition are:
- EOE
- EEE
- EEO
Thus, check the boxes for EOE, EEE, and EEO. The probability of Event B is:
Event C: "An odd number on each of the last two rolls"
To satisfy this event, the second and third rolls must be odd. The outcomes that meet this condition are:
- OOE
- OOO
Thus, check the boxes for OOE and OOO. The probability of Event C is:
Summary of Answers
- Event A: Outcomes EOE, OEE, EEE, EEO, Probability = 0.5
- Event B: Outcomes EOE, EEE, EEO, Probability = 0.375
- Event C: Outcomes OOE, OOO, Probability = 0.25

Related Questions:
- What is the probability of getting exactly two even numbers in three rolls?
- How does changing the number of rolls affect the probability calculations for events like these?
- If a fourth roll was added, how would you calculate the probability for events similar to A, B, or C?
- What is the probability of rolling all even numbers (EEE) or all odd numbers (OOO) in three rolls?
- How would probabilities change if the dice used had different properties (e.g., a biased dice)?
Tip:
When calculating probabilities for independent events, multiply the probabilities of each desired outcome per roll if you need the exact probability per outcome rather than counting favorable outcomes among a set.
