Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the expected values are given by:
a) 120.
b) 150.
What is the binomial probability distribution?
It is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
E(X) = np
In this problem, for both items, we consider that the number cube is rolled 180 times, hence n = 180.
Item a:
4 of the 6 possible values are greater than 2, hence p = 4/6 = 2/3.
The expected value is given by:
E(X) = 180 x 2/3 = 120.
Item b:
5 of the 6 values are less than 6, hence p = 5/6.
The expected value is given by:
E(X) = 180 x 5/6 = 150.
