Having trouble with this question. Anyone want to help thx

A die has 26 faces. Each face has a different letter of the alphabet. The die is rolled three times. Find the probability that the letter k is oN the upper face twice

Not quite sure how we can have a 26 faced-die, as they are usually platonic solids (goes up to 20 faces). I guess they want us to assume equal probability for each face, in which case the probability would be:

(1/26 x 1/26 x 25/26) x 3 because we have 3 possible combinations.

Let K be the case when the letter K is on the 'upper face' and let - be anything else.

-KK
K-K
KK-
