ic If we assume that a 6-faced die is fair (that is, the probability that you roll a 1 = the probability you roll a 2 = the probability you roll a 3 = the probability you roll a 4 the probability you roll a 5 = the probability you roll a 6 = 1/6.) There are 6 equally likely outcomes and therefore the probability of each occurring is 1/6. Does that mean that if I roll the die 6 times I will always roll a 1 one time, a 2 one time, a 3 one time, a 4 one time, a 5 one time and a 6 one time? If I roll a die 60 times will I roll a 4 10 times? If I roll a die 600 times will I roll a 6 100 times? Why or why not?
