Question

Please Help!!!!!! Tom says that he needs 6 rolls to obtain each possible outcome on a 6-sided die. On the fourth roll, he rolls his second "3”. Tom says that the die is loaded and that each outcome is not equally likely. Is Tom correct here? If you think Tom is incorrect, how many rolls should Tom make until he sees each number occurring about 1/6 of the time?

Answer 1

Tom says that the dices outcome is NOT equally likely. When actually the outcome is equally likely.

On dice no two number repeat twice. So in this case every time he rolls the die he has the same chance of getting 3 than he does any other number.

So Tom is incorrect.

And for how many times it will take Tom for all the numbers to occur is all by luck and chance.

But each number is equally likely to come.

Answer 2

I think he is correct.

Explanation:

I think he is correct because when you roll a die, it is 10 to 1 for the die to get the number you want.
