Answer:
A good prediction is that the number 5 will be rolled 8 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to get the number of times 5 would occur in a roll of 50
firstly, we need the probability of having a 5 come up
To do this, we have to divide the number of 5’s by the count of possible numbers
We have this simply as 1/6
Now, we have to multiply this by 50
we have this as;
1/6 * 50 = 8.333
This is approximately 8
so we have it that in 50 rolls, we can have the number 5 coming up 8 times
