Answer:

correct answer is B) 180.

Explanation:

When rolling a fair 6-sided die, there are three odd numbers (1, 3, and 5) and three even numbers (2, 4, and 6). The probability of rolling an odd number on a single roll is therefore 3/6 or 1/2.

If the die is rolled 360 times, we can expect that the event of landing on an odd number will occur roughly (1/2) * 360 = 180 times, on average. Therefore, the most reasonable prediction for the number of times the event of landing on an odd number will occur is 180.
