Full solution

Q. If you roll a 66-sided die 1212 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times you will roll a five?\newline____\_\_\_\_ times
  1. Understand Probability: Understand the probability of rolling a five on a 66-sided die. Each side of the die has an equal chance of landing, so the probability of rolling a five is 11 out of 66. Calculation: P(rolling a five)=16P(\text{rolling a five}) = \frac{1}{6}
  2. Calculate Expected Number: Calculate the expected number of times to roll a five in 1212 rolls.\newlineUsing the probability from Step 11, multiply it by the total number of rolls.\newlineCalculation: Expected number of fives = 16×12=2\frac{1}{6} \times 12 = 2
