Dice Probability?

Question

Given you have rolled one die and it is a 3, what is the probability the next two dice rolled will be two additional 3’s?

Answer 1

The odds are 1 in 36 of rolling 3 3, regardless of whether the 'historical' roll was a 3 or not.

Answer 2

50/50.  Either it will happen or it won't.

Answer 3

1/6 times 1/6 times 1/6 =

((((1 / 6) x 1) / 6) x 1) / 6 = 0.00462962963

or .46 percent of  a chance of doing that (rolling 3 threes consecutively)

Answer 4

Well, it's always one in six for one die to roll a particular number. Your question isn't worded so well.

Answer 5

LOL!  Chad's answer is the best... by that logic, winning the lottery is 50/50- either it will happen or it won't!   Chad - another public school system success!

Answer 6

I like aaron's answer, but he forgot that the first roll has already taken place so the answer is 1/6*1/6 or one out of 36 or 2.77777777777%.
