Tom says that he needs 6 rolls to obtain each possible outcome on a 6-sided die. On the fourth roll, he rolls his second "3”. Tom says that the die is loaded and that each outcome is not equally likely. Is Tom correct here? If you think Tom is incorrect, how many rolls should Tom make until he sees each number occurring about 1/6 of the time?

Respuesta :

Hello! The answer to your question would be as followed:

Tom is incorrect

The odds of getting any number on a six sided die are 1:6

Every time he rolls, there is a 1:6 chance he would get any number.

Though, its possible to get the same number again. As the number tends toward infinity, the ratio of each number occurring to number of rolls can equal 1:6
