The newest invention is a three-sided die. On any roll of this die, the result is 1 with probability 1/2, 2 with probability 1/4, and 3 with probability 1/4.
Consider a sequence of six independent rolls of this die.
1. Find the probability that exactly two of the rolls results in a 3.
2. Given that exactly two of the six rolls resulted in a 1, find the probability that the first roll resulted in a 1.
3. We are told that exactly three of the rolls resulted in a 1 and exactly three rolls resulted in a 2. Given this information, find the probability that the six rolls resulted in the sequence (1,2,1,2,1,2).
