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.

Sum of all observations in the data set is,

T=n_{1} x_{1}+n_{2}x_{2}+n_{3}x_{3}+n_{4}x_{4}\\T=10(5.3)+10(7)+10(8.5)+10(8.2)\\T=53+70+85+82\\T=290
