Digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Probability of digit 5 appearing: 1/6

1,200 * 1/6 = 200

Missing choices:
It will appear exactly 200 timesIt will appear close to 200 times but probably not exactly 200 timesIt will appear exactly 240 timesIt will appear close to 240 times but probably not exactly 240 times.

MY ANSWER:
It will appear close to 200 times but probably not exactly 200 times.
