Answer:

10

Explanation:

Probability is the likeliness of happening of an event.

Probability of any event A can be be defined by

no. of time event A happens/ total no. all possible event that can occur

___________________________________

In the problem

probability of occurrence of 1 on rolling a cube is needed.

A cube has six sides with one written on one sides and rest has 2,3,4,5,6.

No of times 1 can occur on rolling the dice once will be = 1

Since there six sides and and each has different number (1,2,3,4,5,6)

There is chance that each of the number can come.

Thus, total no possible outcome = 6

Probability of occurrence of 1 = No of times 1 occurs on rolling the dice /total no possible outcome = 1/6

_____________________________________________

If dice is rolled 1 time there is 1/6 chance that 1 will be the outcome.

If dice is rolled 1*60 time then there is 1/6*60= 10 chance that 1 will be the outcome

Thus , If you were to roll a six-sided number cube 60 times, about 10 times it is expected that the number cube to land on a 1.
