Your friend, Jamie, rolled a number cube and got the

number 5. On his next turn, he says he won't be able to
roll another 5 because he is only expected to roll a 5
once every six rolls. Is your friend correct? Explain your
answer.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: While he is partly correct, it is not impossible. The odds are 1 in 6, but just because he already rolled it once, doesn’t mean he cannot do it again.
