Question

a six sided die is rolled 24 times
If the die was rolled 96 more times and the pattern continues, what is the range representing the frequency 6 will most likely be rolled in the 120 total rolls?

Answer 1

Side # of Times Landed On
1 2
2 6
3 2
4 6
5 5
6 3

Answer 2

i believe the answer is between two numbers

Answer 3

a few ways to do this. If you just take 3 times 5, you get 15

Answer 4

since 24*5 = 120

Answer 5

the most proper way to go about it is to take the proportion you've been getting...in this case you get a 6 every 1 out of 8 times

Answer 6

okay thank you

Answer 7

1/8 • 120 = x/120 • 120

x = 15
so between 13 and 17 thanks

Answer 8

15 is correct as the most likely number, but out of curiosity, how did you get that range? Were you choosing from a list of options? Or is there some mathematical reason that you say that range?

Answer 9

yeah because it was actually asking me between what numbers would the actual answer be

Answer 10

...

Answer 12

because it explained it would be by pairs lik2,4,6,8 etc in a pair of three numbers the middle being the answer it explained
