zero as you only have 3 dice, with the number 6 on them only once on each dice. so if you are lucky you can only throw 6 3 times using 3 dice.


What is the probability of throwing a 3 or 6 if you role two dice at once?

In this case, you should first calculate the probability of NOT rolling either a 3 or a 6. For one die, this probability is 4/6 = 2/3. For two dice, this probability is 2/3 x 2/3 = 4/9. Therefore, the probability that you DO get a 3 or a 6 is 1 - 4/9 = 5/9.
