To find the likelihood that Tammy wins by rolling at least one three in her first four rolls of a standard die, we can calculate the probability of losing (not rolling a three) and subtract it from 1. The probability of not rolling a three on a single roll is ( \frac{5}{6} ). Therefore, the probability of not rolling a three in four rolls is ( \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^4 \approx 0.4823 ). Thus, the probability that Tammy wins by rolling at least one three in four rolls is ( 1 - \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^4 \approx 0.5177 ), or about 51.77%.
