Positive Quteomes = \left ( 3, 6 \right ),\left ( 6,3 \right ), \left ( 5,4 \right ),\left ( 4,5 \right ) \left ( 3, 6 \right ),\left ( 6,3 \right ), \left ( 5,4 \right ),\left ( 4,5 \right )

Probeleity of getting a score of exactly q = \frac{4}{36}

= \:\frac{1}{c}

now positive outcomes for rolling 3 times are

= \:\left ( \frac{1}{9},\frac{1}{9}, 1-\frac{1}{9} \right ) ,\left (\frac{1}{9}, 1-\frac{1}{9}, \frac{1}{9} \right ), \left ( 1-\frac{1}{9}, \frac{1}{9},\frac{1}{9} \right )

\left ( \frac{1}{9}, \frac{1}{9},\frac{8}{9} \right ), \left ( \frac{1}{9},\frac{8}{9}, \frac{1}{9}\right ),\left ( \frac{8}{9},\frac{1}{9}, \frac{1}{9} \right )

Desired Probeleity = 3\times \frac{1}{9}\times \frac{1}{9 }\times \frac{8}{9}

= \frac{8}{243}
