Question

John is going to toss a dice 180000 times. Which one of following best estimates the number of times dice will show up '6'?

• A. Exactly 60000 times
• B. Exactly 30000 times
• C. Close to 30000 times but probably not exactly 30000 times
• D. Close to 60000 times but probably not exactly 60000 times

Answer 1

The correct option is C Close to 30000 times but probably not exactly 30000 times

Best estimation $=\text{Number of trials}\times \text{P('6' will show up)}$$=\frac{1}{6}$$\times 180000$ = 30000
We can not predict exactly how many times dice will show up '6' as it is impossible to predict outcomes for random events, and outcomes are not equally likely for an experiment.
