Question

The faces of a number cube are labeled 1 through 6. If the number cube is rolled 72 times, which is closest to the number of times you would expect the outcome to be greater than 4?

Answer 1

18 times

Since there only two numbers greater than 4 (5 & 6), you subtract 2 from 6.

$6 - 2 = 4$

Then, you divide that from 72.

$72 \div 4 = 18$

So, the number of times I would expect the outcome to be greater than 4 is 18.
