The question is saying more than two i.e. 3, 4, 5 ..... , what you are doing is exactly 3.

The simplest way to solve this question is:

P (more than 2) = 1 - P (only 1) - P (only 2)

Lets find P (only 1) = \(\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\)

and, P (only 2) = \((\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4}\)

Therefore, P (more than 2) = \(1 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}\)
