There is a 1/6 chance of rolling a 5, a 1/6 chance of rolling a 4, and a 1/6 chance of rolling a 6. All three numbers have to be rolled in a row for the criterion to be met.
To find the probability of rolling these three numbers specifically in a row, we must multiply the individual probabilities together:
[tex]\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{216} [/tex]
The probability of rolling a 5, then a 4, then a 6, is 1/216, or one in two hundred and sixteen times.
