Find the probability that:
Rolling a fair die 3 times, at least two dice are less than 4.
Previous answers have suggested 0.875 (189 feasible cases/ 216 total cases). However, from simple trial and error we can see that there are more than 27 cases where this answers fails. For example is the first dice gets a 4 and the 2nd dice gets 4,5,6 and the last dice gets any number, there is already 18 cases here that are not feasible.
Thank you.

63 % of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is (a) exactly five, (b) at least six, and (c) less than four.
(a) P(5)=____ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(b) P(x greater than or equals 6)=_____ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(c) P(x< 4)=___ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

a) The probability that a continuous random variable takes a specific value is 0.
b) Statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions about unknown statistics by using known parameters.
c) The terms “histogram” and “bar graph” are synonyms.
d) If two events A and B are independent, then there is no overlap between the events on a Venn diagram.

A Food Marketing Institute found that 34% of households spend
more than $125 a week on groceries. Assume the population
proportion is 0.34 and a simple random sample of 368 households is
selected from the population. What is the probability that the
sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is
less than 0.32?
Note: You should carefully round any z-values you calculate to 4
decimal places to match wamap's approach and calculations.
Answer = (Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are
normally distributed with a mean of 195.2-cm and a standard
deviation of 0.8-cm. For shipment, 22 steel rods are bundled
together.
Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected
bundle of steel rods is less than 195.1-cm.
P(M < 195.1-cm) =
