I rolled a dice 60 times.

I got 6 to show up 24 times.
What is the probability on my next roll that I will again roll a 6?

Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

No matter how many times you roll the die, the probability of landing on 6 is 1/6 each time. This is of course assuming the die is fair, i.e. each of the 6 sides are equally likely.

The probability is 1/6 each time because the previous events do not affect the current roll. Each roll is independent of one another. So in effect, the info of getting 6 to show up 24 times is unneeded filler info set up as a distraction. The same can be said about the value 60 as well.
