From 1 to 12, the number of prime number is 5 (2,3,5,7,11) and the number of not a prime number is 7 (1,4,6,8,9,10,12)
1st roll is prime = 5/12
2nd roll is prime = 5/12
3rd roll is prime = 5/12
4th roll is not prime = 7/12
So the probability is \frac{5}{12}\frac{.5}{12}\frac{.5}{12}\frac{.7}{12}=\frac{875}{20736}=0.0422
That's the answer.
