Eva payrolls for on a number cube and the number of cubes roll 24 times then what is a reasonable prediction for the number of s

Allushta [10]

Answer:

The reasonable prediction for successful rolls is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the rolling cube is a fair 6 sided cube, so the probability of success of one roll is given as

$P(Success)=\dfrac{Number\ of\ successful\ events}{Number\ of\ total\ events}$

$P(Success)=\dfrac{1}{6}$

The total success is given as

$P(Total\ Success)=P(Success)\times Number\ of\ events$

For 24 rolls it is given as

$P(Total\ Success)=P(Success)\times Number\ of\ events\\P(Total\ Success)=\dfrac{1}{6}\times 24\\P(Total\ Success)=4$

So the reasonable prediction for successful rolls is 4.
