Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Explanation: Since, there are 6 sides to a cube, each with a different number, you have a 1 in 6 or 1/6th of a chance to roll a five. In other words for every 6 rolls you will roll a 5 one time. You have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 5. Those are the only ways I know how to describe it.

Answer 2

No, because there's always a 1 out of 6 chance he'll get the same number. It's a small chance, but a chance nonetheless. He could still possibly roll another 5.

Hope this helps :)
