Explanation:
When a fair die is thrown, the probability of getting each of the digit 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 is
Of these, digits divisible by 3 are 3 and 6.
Hence when you roll a fair die once, probability of getting a number divisible by 3 is#2/6# or#1/3# .
Probability of getting a number not divisible by 3 in one roll is#2/3#
Since the die is rolled 3 times, tje required probability is#(2/3)^3# or#8/27# .
