Math Pg E-50 Question #1




1 . Suppose you roll a regular 6-faced die .

How many equally likely outcomes are there ?
There are 6 outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6)

If you roll the die once, what is the probability of rolling a 3 ?
The probability of rolling a 3 would be 1/6 or 16.67%

If you roll the die 60 times, about how many times would you expect to get a 1 ?
i would expect to get a one 10/60 =1/6 or 16.67%

If you roll the die 300 times , about how many times would you expect to get a 5?
i would expect to get a 5 50/300= 1/6 or 16.67%

haha yeah i knoe the dice really ugly =P

My Question

if you roll an 8-faced die 600 times how many times would you expect to get the number 7 ? explain you answer in a fraction and a percent.

i would expect to get then number 7 75/600 =1/8 or 12.5%
