Correct answer: 19
-
We roll a fair tetrahedral die three times, so independently.
-
Total number of possible ordered triples is
-
For the quadratic to have all real roots, its discriminant must be non-negative:
Since , we always have , so it is indeed a quadratic.
-
We now count the number of triples satisfying
Case 1:
Then so we need But , hence . Impossible.
Number of favorable triples: .
Case 2:
Then so we need Since , this happens only when
Number of favorable triples: .
Case 3:
Then so we need Thus Possible ordered pairs are:
Number of favorable triples: .
Case 4:
Then so we need Possible ordered pairs with are:
- :
- :
- :
- :
So total pairs:
Number of favorable triples: .
- Total favorable triples:
Therefore, required probability is
So, Hence,
