Adam should expect to roll a 37 zero times because a standard six-sided die does not have a face with the number 37 on it.

Adam should expect to roll a number 37 zero times when he rolls a 1-6 number cube 60 times because a standard six-sided die only has the numbers 1 through 6 on its faces, and 37 is not one of these numbers. Each face of a fair six-sided die has an equal probability of landing face up, which is 1 out of 6 (or approximately 16.67%). Since Adam's number cube only includes numbers 1 through 6, the probability of rolling a 37 is exactly 0%.
