Question 6 • HCISD-Mathematical Models with Applications B-CR SUMMER

Your friend, Jamie, rolled a number cube and got the number 5. On his next turn, he says he won’t be able to roll another 5 because he is only expected to roll a 5 once every six rolls. Is your friend correct? Explain your answer.

Answer

Answer:

Jamie is not correct. No matter how many times the cube is rolled, the probability of rolling a 5 will be 1/6.
