Answer:

20 times

Explanation:

We are given a cube that has s 6 faces that are numbered from 1 through 6.

She expect to roll a number that is greater than 4 .

A number greater than 4 of dice = 5 or 6

Probability of getting 5 =
\frac{\text{favorable event}}{\text{total events}}

Favorable event ={5}=1

Total events ={1,2,3,4,5,6}=6

So probability of getting 5 =
(1)/(6)

Probability of getting 6 =
\frac{\text{favorable event}}{\text{total events}}

Favorable event ={6}=1

Total events ={1,2,3,4,5,6}=6

So probability of getting 6 =
(1)/(6)

Thus the probability of getting 5 or 6 =
(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)

=
(2)/(6)

=
(1)/(3)

Since She plans on rolling the number cube 60 times

So,she expect to roll a number that is greater than 4=
60*(1)/(3)

=20

Hence she should expect 20 times to roll a number that is greater than 4
