Answer:

The probability that Anu will get to watch the Wimbledon match is 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of any number appearing = 1/4

Anu wins in the following condition

1) If 1 occus on the first roll then there is no chance of her winning because in the next roll the number appeaing will be either 1 or greater than 1

2) If 2 appears on 1st roll then Anu will win if 1 appears on the second roll

3) If 3 appears on the 1st roll then Anu will win if 1 or 2 appears on the second roll

4) If 4 appears on the first roll then Anu will win if 1, 2, 3 appears on the second roll

Therefore, the probability of Anu winning
1/4x1/4+1/4x2/4+1/4x3/4=3/8

4) If 4 appears on the first roll then Anu will win if 1, 2, 3 appears on the second roll

Therefore, the probability of Anu winning

frac{1}{4}times frac{1}{4} + frac{1}{4}times frac{2}{4} + frac{1}{4}times frac{3}{4} = frac{3}{8}[latex]
