Question

jon tossed a standerd number cube several times . he got the number "4" on 5 of the tosses, based on theoretical probabilites,what is the estimate of number of times the cube will land on "4" if the cube is tossed 240 times ?

Answer 1

On a cube there are 6 sides with the numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6.

so probability of 1 role to get a 4 would be 1/6

The probability of getting a 4 on 240 roles would be 40 times because:

1/6=x/240

240=6x

divide by 6

40 is final answer
