Question

Imagine we are throwing a five-sided die 50 times. On average, out of these 50 throws how many times would this five-sided die show an odd number (1, 3 or 5)?​

Answer 1

30.

Explanation:

The probability of throwing a 1, 3 or 5 on one throw is 3/5.

So on 50 throws the average would be 50 * 3/5 = 30 times.

Answer 2

`30`

Explanation:

There are 3 outcomes out of 5 that are odd.

`(3)/(5)`

Throw it 50 times.

`50*(3)/(5)`
