total of posible throws is 3*36 = 108
favourable outcomes = 1+6+15 = 22
P(more than 12 ) = \(\frac{12}{108}=\frac{3}{27}=\frac{1}{9}\)
+130560 There are 3 possibilities if the first roll is odd. And with each of these, there are 36 possibilites = 3 * 36 = 108 possibilities in all......so we have
1, 6, 6
3, 6, 6
3, 6, 5
3, 5, 6
3, 5, 5
3, 4, 6
3, 6, 4
5, 6, 6 5, 4, 4
5, 6, 5 5, 6, 3
5, 5, 6 5, 3, 6
5, 5, 5 5, 5, 3
5, 4, 6 5, 3, 5
5 6, 4 5, 2, 6
5, 4, 5 5, 6, 2
5, 5, 4
And this is 22 ways.......so ....the probability = 22/108 = 11/54 ≈ 20.37%
