We require the probability that a 10-sided die with 2 red sides lands red for the first time on the third roll, rechecking the calculation.
Probability of red is \(\frac{2}{10}\), non-red is \(\frac{8}{10}\). We need: non-red, non-red, red.
Rolls are independent, so multiply:
\(P = \frac{8}{10} \cdot \frac{8}{10} \cdot \frac{2}{10} = \frac{128}{1000} = 0.128\)
Answer: C
Probability of red is \(\frac{2}{10}\), non-red is \(\frac{8}{10}\). We need: non-red, non-red, red.
Rolls are independent, so multiply:
\(P = \frac{8}{10} \cdot \frac{8}{10} \cdot \frac{2}{10} = \frac{128}{1000} = 0.128\)
Answer: C
| Theory Involved |
| Independent Events: For independent events A, B, C (one outcome doesn’t affect others), the probability of all occurring is \(P(A) \cdot P(B) \cdot P(C)\). Each die roll is independent, so we multiply probabilities of non-red, non-red, and red. |

P(red) = 2/10 = 1/5
P(not red) = 8/10 = 4/5
P(red first time on the third roll) = 4/5 * 4/5 * 1/5 = 16/125 = 0.128
Answer C
P(not red) = 8/10 = 4/5
P(red first time on the third roll) = 4/5 * 4/5 * 1/5 = 16/125 = 0.128
Answer C
