A student demonstrates probability by using a 6 slide number Q with the numbers.12345 and sixty student rosie number q two hundred and forty six times predict how many times three or five will be rolled

1 answer

To calculate the probability of rolling a 3 or a 5 on the number Q, we first need to determine the total number of possible outcomes. Since the number Q has 6 sides with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, there are a total of 6 possible outcomes.

Next, we determine the number of favorable outcomes, which in this case are rolling a 3 or a 5. There are 2 outcomes that are favorable - rolling a 3 or a 5.

Therefore, the probability of rolling a 3 or a 5 on the number Q is:

Number of Favorable Outcomes / Total Number of Outcomes = 2 / 6 = 1/3

Since the student rolled the number Q 246 times, we can predict the number of times a 3 or a 5 will be rolled by multiplying the probability by the total number of rolls:

1/3 * 246 = 82

Therefore, based on the probability calculation, we can predict that a 3 or a 5 will be rolled approximately 82 times out of 246 rolls.
