When tossed, a certain six-sided die has an equal probability of landing on any of the six sides. If the die is tossed 3 times, what is the probability that it will land on the same side each time?
Answers.
A) 1/6 B) 1/12 C) 1/36 D) 1/72 E) 1/216
On the first toss, the die will land on one of the sides.   On the second toss, the probability of landing on the same side is 1/6.   On the third toss, the probability of landing on the same side is 1/6.   P(same side three times)=1/6*1/6=1/36.   The answer is 1/36.
