Question

A number cube has sides labeled 1-6. sue will roll the cube 48 times. how many times should sue expect to roll a 5

Answer 1

1/6*48=8 because it's a fair dice it should come as 8 times for every number as well

Answer 2

5 is one of 6 possibilities from the number cube.

If Sue rolled it once, there is a 1/6 probability of her getting a five.

Look at the numerator (the top of the fraction). It is a 1 because in the scenario I have, Sue rolled the die once.

If the number cube was rolled 48 times, the number 1 just needs to be replaced with 48.

48/6=8.

So, Sue should expect to roll a 5 8 times.
