How many threes in 48 rolls of a die?

Answer 1

There are two ways to answer this. At the outset we have to assume this is a regular six-sided die. Some of you guys play D&D and have 20-sided dice. This isn't one of those. If we divide 48 rolls by six sides, we get eight occurrences of each number per side. If we could figure out a way to make the six sides consistently come up in equal quantities, we'd get eight ones, eight twos and so on until we got eight sixes. Real dice are random, so you could get anywhere from zero threes to 48 threes if you rolled one die 48 times. The real answer is, "it could be anything."
