Toss two dice. How many times in 180 tosses a 5 will appear on both dice?

1 answer

To find out how many times a 5 will appear on both dice in 180 tosses, we can calculate the probability of getting a 5 on one die and then multiply it by the number of tosses.

The probability of getting a 5 on one die is 1/6, since there is only one possible outcome out of six that results in a 5.

So, the probability of getting a 5 on both dice is (1/6) * (1/6) = 1/36.

Multiplying this probability by the number of tosses, we get (1/36) * 180 = 5.

Therefore, a 5 will appear on both dice 5 times in 180 tosses.
