Question 1030586: The singular form of the word “dice” is “die”. Tom was throwing a six-sided die. The first time he threw, he got a three; the second time he threw, he got a three again. What’s the probability of getting a three at the third time? Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):

:
Pr(throwing 3 three times in succession) = (1/6) * (1/6) * (1/6) = 1/216
