Question

The probability of rolling a number less than 3 on a number cube 2/6. Jennifer rolls a number cube 60 times how many times should jennifer except to roll a number less than 3

Answer 1

Answer:

20 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Probability of rolling a number less than 3 on a number cube:

Required outcome = (1, 2)

Total possible outcomes = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

= 2 /6

= 1/3

Hence, if number cube is rolled 60 times, number of times a number less than 3 is expected :

(Probability of obtaining a number less than 3 in one roll × number of rolls)

= (1 / 3) × 60

= 60 / 3

= 20 times
