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?

Each of the 8 sides is equally likely, so the chance of rolling an 8 on one roll is 1/8. Over 96 rolls, the expected number is 96 × 1/8 = 12, so Maria can expect to roll an 8 about 12 times.
