A person suspects a standard number cube is not so standard. Another person rolls this cube 100 times, and it lands on a six 42
times. A third person rolls the cube 100 times, and it lands on a six 33 times. Based on the results, is there evidence to help prove that this cube is not a standard number cube? Explain your reasoning. Type 3-5 sentence response
The chance of an average six-sided number cube landing one one number is 1/6, or approximately 16.67%. When rolling a number cube 100 times, the average number of times it lands on any specific number should be fairly close to 16.67.
A 6 being rolled 42 times and 33 times means that it is <em>very likely</em> not to be a standard number cube. Although we cannot know for certain, the chance of this happening is very low.
