Probability of getting an odd number in a single throw of a die `=3/6​=1/2`​
Similarly, probability of getting an even number `=3/6​=1/2​`
Probability of getting an even number three times `=1/2​xx1/2​xx1/2​=1/8​`
Therefore, probability of getting an odd number at least once
=1− Probability of getting an odd number in none of the throws
=1− Probability of getting an even number thrice
`=1−1/8`
`=7/8​=0.88`
