Question

2. When two dice are rolled, the odds of throwing a double are 5:1 against. If two dice are rolled 450 times, the best estimate of the number of doubles that would be expected is Record your answer in the numerical response box from left to rig Numerical Response

Answer 1

90

Explanation:

We know that the relationship between doubles and total is 5: 1, therefore, we can estimate the times that doubles would come out knowing that the total is 450, by proportion we calculate:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(5)=(x)/(450) \\ \text{ Solving for x:} \\ x=(450)/(5) \\ x=90 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the number of doubles expected is 90
