Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we can calculate the expected number of times a four will appear when rolling a 6-sided die 2400 times.
Steps:
-
Each side of a 6-sided die has an equal probability of being rolled, so the probability of rolling a four is:
-
The expected number of times a four will appear when rolling the die 2400 times is given by:
Conclusion:
The best prediction for the number of times you will roll a four is 400.
Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are five related questions you might consider:
- How do we calculate expected values for other dice rolls?
- What is the probability of rolling a specific number on multiple rolls of the die?
- What is the variance in the number of times a four will appear in 2400 rolls?
- How would the prediction change if the die were biased?
- How can we calculate the expected number of times two different numbers will appear?
Tip: The expected value for any outcome of a dice roll can be found by multiplying the probability of that outcome by the number of rolls.
