Calculate Probability: First, let's figure out the probability of rolling at least a 3 on a 4-sided die in one roll. There are two outcomes that work: rolling a 3 or a 4. So the probability for one roll is 2 out of 4, or 21.
Consider Two Rolls: Now, we need to consider two rolls. To find the probability of event A (rolling at least a 3 on either roll), we can first find the probability of the opposite event (not rolling at least a 3 on both rolls) and then subtract it from 1.
Calculate Probability for Two Rolls: The probability of not rolling at least a 3 (so rolling a 1 or 2) on one roll is 2 out of 4, or 21. For two rolls, we multiply the probabilities: 21×21=41.
Subtract from 1: Subtract the probability of not rolling at least a 3 on both rolls from 1 to get the probability of event A: 1−41=43.
Correct Mistake: However, I made a mistake in the previous step. The probability of not rolling at least a 3 on one roll is actually 21, but for two rolls, it should be 21×21=41. This is correct, but I need to convert 43 to a fraction with a denominator of 16 to match the answer choices. 43 is equivalent to 1612.
