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.
The total possibility that the head and even no on dice appears is 3. and total possible choice are 12 {head ---> (1,2,3,4,5,6) & tail ---> (1,2,3,4,5,6)}. so the probability is 3/12= 1/4.
