Question 7 • College Prep Math B - IC26

In playing Monopoly, rolling doubles three times in a row sends you to jail. What is the probability of rolling three consecutive doubles?

Answer
A
0.167
B
0.5
C
0.00463
D
18.0

Explanation

There are 6 ways to roll doubles with two dice, out of 36 equally likely outcomes, so the chance of doubles on one roll is 6/36 = 1/6. For three consecutive rolls, multiply the independent probabilities: (1/6)³ = 1/216 ≈ 0.00463. Therefore, the correct choice is 0.00463.
