When you are rolling one die, how many times can you expect to roll a 5 if you roll 42 times?

Question

When you are rolling one die, how many times can you expect to roll a 5 if you roll 42 times?

Answer 1

well, there are 6 faces on a die, which means you will roll a 5 on average 1/6 of the time.  1/6 of 42 is 7, so 7 times.

Answer 2

100 / 6 = 16.666666>

16.666666>% chance to hit 5 every time

42 * 16.666666% = 6.999999>

Answer 3

42.  Of course I am assuming every side of the die has a 5 on it.  Since you didn't tell us how many sides of the die there are and the distribution of possible outcomes I get to make my own assumptions. :)

Answer 4

42 divided by 6 equals 7!

Answer 5

6 goes into 42, 7 times

so the answer should be 7

Answer 6

7 times would be my guess

Answer 7

assuming that there are no variations in weight and shape of the die, seven times...(the odds of each number would be equal when dealing with a perfect cube)

Answer 8

SEVEN
