The expected value of a dataset is the mean or average of the dataset.

The cube is expected to land on a 2 or 3 a total of 40 times

The cube is said to be numbered from 1 to 6.

This means that, the probability of getting each number is 1/6.

So, the probability that the outcome is 2 or 3 is:

P(2\ or\ 3) = P(2) + P(3)

This gives

P(2\ or\ 3) = \frac 16 + \frac 16

Add fractions

P(2\ or\ 3) = \frac {1+1}6

P(2\ or\ 3) = \frac 26

Simplify

P(2\ or\ 3) = \frac 13

The number of rolls (n) is 120.

So, the expected value is:

E(x) = np

This gives

E(x) = 120 \times \frac 13

E(x) = 40

Hence, the cube is expected to land on a 2 or 3 a total of 40 times

El valor de *x* en la operación de -4+2x=0?​
Vesnalui [34]
Add 4 to both sides to isolate the variable (-4+4=0) (2x+0=2x) (0+4=4) which leaves you with 2x=4 divide both sides by 2 to get rid of the number in front of the variable to get x by itself (2x/2=x) (4/2=2) therefore you’re left with x=2 (lo siento yo no hablo español la respuesta es x=2)
