Question

(Please answer it correctly please please show work )Thalia tosses a fair number cube with faces numbered 1 to 6. Which is a reasonable estimate of the number of times the cube will land on a number greater than 4 in 120 tosses ?

Answer 1

Answer:40

Step-by-step explanation:

On a fair die, each face has a 1/6 chance of landing on each toss.

5 and 6 are the only faces greater than 4, therefore there is a 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 chance of the die landing on a number greater than 4 for each toss.

Multiply the probability by the total number of tosses to get the number of tosses that are greater than 4.

120 * (2/6) = 240/6 = 40

Approximately 40 tosses will land on a number greater than 4.
