This problem looks at probabilities in terms of one minus the probability of the compliment in order to solve the problem: if a die is rolled 4 times, what is the probability that a 3 comes up at least once

If a die is rolled 4 times, what is the probability that a 3 comes up at least once?


Solution Summary

A step-by-step solution is provided, which solves the problem - if a die is rolled 4 times, what is the probability that a 3 comes up at least once.  The question is answered using the probability of the compliment of the event, rather than finding this probability directly.
