A fair 6-sided die is rolled 300 times. What is a reasonable prediction for the number of times the event of landing on an odd number will occur?

150
50
175
100

Answer 1

150

Explanation:

To find a reasonable prediction for the number of times the event of landing on an odd number will occur when a fair 6-sided die is rolled 300 times, we can consider the probability.

Out of the six possible outcomes of rolling a fair 6-sided die, three of them are odd numbers (1, 3, and 5). Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a fair 6-sided die is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2 or 0.5.

To predict the number of times the event will occur, we can multiply the probability by the total number of rolls:

Number of times = Probability × Total number of rolls

Number of times = 0.5 × 300

Number of times = 150

Therefore, a reasonable prediction for the number of times the event of landing on an odd number will occur is 150.

Answer 2

150. This is because there is 3 odd numbers and 3 even numbers. 3 is 1/2 of 6. 300 divided by 2 equals 150.
