Alexis has a number cube labeled 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. He will roll the cube 100 times.

About how many times could Alexis expect the number cube to land on 8?

Answer:

16-17 (depending on how you round it)

Explanation:

You have a cube with 6 different options available: 2,4,6,8,10, and 12. This gives you a 1/6 chance of landing on any one of them on a given roll. If you roll it 100 times, this means that you should theoretically land on each side 1/6 of the time, which would means you would multiply 100 by 1/6 to give you 16-17 (16.66667)
