Question

if a cube numbered 1 to 6 is tossed 300 times, about how many times would you predict the cube to land on a number greater than 4?

Answer 1

Answer: 100 times

Explanation:

The cube is numbered 1 to 6. That is, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That means there are 6 possible outcomes for each toss. But there are 2 outcomes we want, 5 and 6 (greater than 4).

So, for each toss, there is a probability of 2/6 = 1/3 that this will occur.

With 300 tosses, we can say that this will probably happen 300 times. This means that it will happen

1/3 * 300 times = 100 times.

Therefore, we can predict we will get a 5 or 6 about 100 times.
