Question

Reagan will use a random number generator 1,200 times. Each result will be a digit from 1 to 6. Which statement best predicts how many times the digit 5 will appear among the 1,200 results?
A. It will appear exactly 200 times.
B. It will appear close to 200 times but probably not exactly 200 times.
C. It will appear exactly 240 times.
D. It will appear close to 240 times but probably not exactly 240 times.

Answer 1

The answer is B.

The only reason it will be 200 is because the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,and 6 are all an option so the probability of 5 is 1/6 and if you multiply 1/6 by 1,200 you will get 200. Hope this helped!
