b.Cassie will roll an even number exactly 150 times.

c.Cassie will roll a 1 or 2 exactly 50 times.

d.Cassie will roll an even number about 150 times

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

Process of elimination:

A: 1 or 2 is 2 favorable outcomes

2/6 or 1/3

one third of 300 is 100, not 50

B: 2, 4, and 6 are even numbers (3 favorable outcomes)

3/6 or 1/2

1/2 of 300 is 150

I say the answer is B. Sorry if I’m wrong.
