    Question

    Suppose there are two players playing with four pure dice. They must take turns rolling these four dice at the same time. Player A gets a point if no 3 is rolled and player B gets a point if at least one of the four dice has one 3 on top. Is this a fair game for both players according to probability theory?


    1. FALSE: Yes, because both players have the same probability.
    2. FALSE: No, because player A has a greater chance than player B.
    3. TRUE: No, because player B has a greater chance than player A.

    1. Yes, because both players have the same odds: Incorrect
    2. No, because player A has a greater chance than player B.:Incorrect
    3. No, because player B has a greater chance than player A.: Correct
