The probability of not getting a six is $\frac{5}{6}$ (or about 83%). Thus, the probability of not getting a six in three rolls is $\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^3$ (or about 58%). Finally, the probability of getting a six is the probability of not not getting a six: $1-\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^3$ , or about 42%, which is less than 50% .
