total outcome=6^4   prime numbers={2,3,5}  ∴ favourable outcome=3^4    probability a prime each time  =(3^4 /6^4 )=(1/(16))

$${total}\:{outcome}=\mathrm{6}^{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${prime}\:{numbers}=\left\{\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3},\mathrm{5}\right\} \\ $$$$\therefore\:{favourable}\:{outcome}=\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\:{probability}\:{a}\:{prime}\:{each}\:{time} \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{4}} }{\mathrm{6}^{\mathrm{4}} }=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{16}} \\ $$
