Answer:

150

Explanation:

4, 5 and 6 are all numbers greater than 3.

The chances of rolling a 4 is 1/6, that of a 5 is 1/6, and that of a 6 is 1/6.

The chances of rolling a number greater than 3 is thus 3/6, or 1/2.

This is theoretical probability; you haven't actually observed this happening.

We can now multiply (300 rolls) by this probability 1/2, obtaining 150.

We predict that in 300 rolls, 150 numbers greater than 3 would be rolled.
