Question

Ricardo rolls a standard number cube 48 times. What is the best prediction for the number of times he will roll an even number that is greater than 2?

Answer 1

Even numbers greater than 2: 4,6

Total possibilities: 6 (since it is a standard cube)

There are two favorable outcomes out of 6 possible outcomes, so this is written as 2/6, or 1/3. 1/3 of 48 is 16, so 16 is the best prediction for the number of times her will roll an even number that is greater than 2.
