What does it mean to find the expected value of a chance activity with numerical outcomes?

I think it means to find the theoretical probability of something random that has results that are numbers. For instance, rolling a die and trying to get a 6 is a "chance activity with numerical outcomes".

What are the possible outcomes when you roll a number cube?
1,2,3,4,5,6 are the possible outcomes. There's a 1/6 chance for each.
Do outcomes have the same chance of occurring?
No. Not all outcomes are equally probable. Generally, the chance, or probability, of a particular event happening can be calculated.It should be noted that the possibility of some events happening cannot be calculated.
What is a chance of 5050 like what does it mean?
The 50/50 chance means there are two outcomes, and each on is equally likely. A coin has a 50% chance of coming up heads and 50% chance of coming up tails. If we have a number of events or outcomes, and little information to based which one is more likely to occur, we can assume that they are equiprobable events or outcomes. You can learn more by searching wikipedia under equiprobable.
What is the chance of rolling a two on one die?
1/6 The numerator is the number of outcomes you would find acceptable (in this case ONLY the number 2) The denominator is the number of all possible outcomes (6)
Rolling three dice what is the probablity of obtaining different outcomes?
Depends if the dice is bias then you an not have an answer if it is fair then you times 6 by 3 which = 18 so if you want three different outcomes then 3/18 which is simplified to 1/6 of a chance!
What is the likelihood or chance that a specific outcome will occur out of a total number of outcomes will occur out of a total number of outcomes?
Its probability.

A couple has two boys what is the chance that the parents next child will be a boy?
Half, because previous outcomes have nothing to do with future outcomes, the chance of getting a boy or girl will always be half.
What is a chance of 5050 like what does it mean?
The 50/50 chance means there are two outcomes, and each on is equally likely. A coin has a 50% chance of coming up heads and 50% chance of coming up tails. If we have a number of events or outcomes, and little information to based which one is more likely to occur, we can assume that they are equiprobable events or outcomes.

What is the mathematical chance that an event will occur?
The number of possible outcomes that matches the event divided by the total number of possible outcomes is the probabilityof that event.
Do you have a chance to win a lottery this year?
If you have bought a ticket, then you have a chance. Your chance may not great, but as they say, if you are not in, you cannot win. No winner expected to win, but it could be you.
What is the chance of rolling a two on one die?
1/6 The numerator is the number of outcomes you would find acceptable (in this case ONLY the number 2) The denominator is the number of all possible outcomes (6)
When is the new moon movie expected to come out?
It's expected to come out in theaters in late 2009, although there is a chance it will come out early 2010.
What is evolution by a chance event called?
I think you want genetic drift. That is a random event, which is subtly different than a chance event, though a chance event, such as an unforeseen accident can be part of it. Accidents always happen by chance, but to be random they happen in no set numerical order.
How many outcomes are there in the rolling a die in an even number?
there's 1/3 chance of getting an even number in a die, hon
Rolling three dice what is the probablity of obtaining different outcomes?
