Maria has an 8-sided die that is numbered from 1 to 8. She rolls the die 96 times. About how many times can she expect to roll an 8?

The probability of rolling an 8 on a fair 8-sided die is 1 out of 8. In 96 rolls, the expected number of 8s is 96 × 1/8 = 12. So Maria can expect to roll an 8 about 12 times.
