Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is the probability times the frequency.

3 = 1/6 × n

n = 18

Note: the use of the word "odds" is very misleading here.  Odds are the ratio of number of successes to number of failures:

S / F

Probability is the ratio of number of successes to number of all outcomes:

S / (S + F)

So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.  The odds of rolling a 5 is 1/5.

Furthermore, the word "must" is also incorrect.  The player didn't <em>have</em> to roll 18 times.  They could have rolled three times and gotten a 5 each time.  Or they could have rolled 100 times.  18 is simply the most <em>likely </em>number of rolls needed to get three 5's.

Hello there,

The outlier of the data set is 92. Lets first find everything with the outlier.
Mean: 60.08
Median: 57
Mode: 52 
Range:46

Now let's take out the outlier of the set and see the difference.
Mean: 54.27
Median:56
Mode: 52
Range: 15

So as we can see without the outlier everything is closer together. The outlier shouldn't be included because that makes the entire set screwed up. The data is more accurate without the outlier.

Hope this helps!
