Padraic is playing a game with his friend, Radnor. Padraic rolls a 4 sided die twice. If Padraic rolls at least a 3 on either roll, then Radnor gives him 1 gobstopper, otherwise, Padraic has to give Radnor 1 gobstopper.
Let's give the label 
A to the event that Padraic rolls at least a 
3 on either roll. What is the probability of this event?

  1. Calculate Probability: First, let's figure out the probability of rolling at least a 33 on a 44-sided die in one roll. There are two outcomes that work: rolling a 33 or a 44. So the probability for one roll is 22 out of 44, or 12\frac{1}{2}.
  2. Consider Two Rolls: Now, we need to consider two rolls. To find the probability of event AA (rolling at least a 33 on either roll), we can first find the probability of the opposite event (not rolling at least a 33 on both rolls) and then subtract it from 11.
  3. Calculate Probability for Two Rolls: The probability of not rolling at least a 33 (so rolling a 11 or 22) on one roll is 22 out of 44, or 12\frac{1}{2}. For two rolls, we multiply the probabilities: 12×12=14\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}.
  4. Subtract from 11: Subtract the probability of not rolling at least a 33 on both rolls from 11 to get the probability of event AA: 114=341 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}.
  5. Correct Mistake: However, I made a mistake in the previous step. The probability of not rolling at least a 33 on one roll is actually 12\frac{1}{2}, but for two rolls, it should be 12×12=14\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}. This is correct, but I need to convert 34\frac{3}{4} to a fraction with a denominator of 1616 to match the answer choices. 34\frac{3}{4} is equivalent to 1216\frac{12}{16}.
