A) No, the probability of getting a 3 on a fair die does not change. It will always be 1/6
no matter what she got on the previous roll.

A) No, the probability of getting a 3 on a fair die does not change. It will always be 1/6  no matter what she got on the previous roll.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets define probability first

"Probability is the likeliness of occurrence of an event"

When we call a die fair, that means that each number on the die has an equal chance of occurrence when rolled.

If on 7 rolls, the outcomes were 7 each time, this doesn't mean that the chances of rolling a specific number on a fair die is changed. On the next roll, 3 will have the same probability as before that is 1/6

So,

The correct answer is:

A) No, the probability of getting a 3 on a fair die does not change. It will always be 1/6  no matter what she got on the previous roll.
