Question

The probability of getting a 6 after rolling a fair dice 16.

Abby is going to roll the dice 30 times.

Estimate the number of times the dice will land on a 6.

Answer 1

P(6) = 5

Explanation:

The dice is cast 30 times (k = 30)

So if the big numbers apply, then you would expect the outcome to be evenly distributed, meaning

5 x 1

5 x 2

5 x 3

5 x 4

5 x 5

5 x 6

____ +

30 casts in total (evenly distributed over all numbers of the dice)

P(6) = 1/6 * 30

P(6) = 5
