what is probability of an event that is 35% likely to happen occurring on 5, 6, 7 consective times. for example... if i had 3 sided die, what is probability of the same side coming up on 6 consecitve rolls?

sorry for the question out of the blue, but any help would be appreciated.

for any number of times, its .35 to the Nth power, N=Number of times

5 times = 0.52% or 52 times out of 10,000
6 times = 0.18% or 18 times out of 10,000
7 times = 0.06% or 6 times out of 10,000

Drew, I think slimeo has answered your question. Now, the three sided
die, that you can roll is another matter. Would you take two dimensions?

Just kidding Drew.....
