Answer:

16.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the six faces of a six-faced die shows one of the numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

A roll of a die is equally likely to land on any face, so the total number of possible outputs is 6, corresponding to the number of faces on the die.

The desired outcome here is 3, meaning the face that shows the number 3. Only one face has the number 3, so the number of desired outcomes is 1.

p(event) = (number of desired outcomes)/(total number of possible outcomes)

p(3) = 1/6 = 0.16666... = 16.7%
