John is about to roll a six-sided, fair number cube 60 times. He wants to predict how many times the cube will land on an even number. He makes a prediction of 20 times. Is it a good prediction? What would your prediction be based on theoretical probability?

Your Question:

John is about to roll a six-sided, fair number cube 60 times. He wants to predict how many times the cube will land on an even number. He makes a prediction of 20 times. Is it a good prediction? What would your prediction be based on theoretical probability?

My answer:

each dice has these 6 numbers

1,2,3,4,5,6

the even out of all of the numbers are

2,4,6

The others are odd (obviously)

1,3,5

So 1/2 are odd.

1/2 of 60 is the number of times it would get even numbers,

1/2 of 60=1/2 times 60=30

My prediction was 30!
