What is the expected value of one roll of one die?
3.5
When you roll a fair die you have an equal chance of getting each of the six numbers 1 to 6. The expected value of your die roll, however, is 3.5.
How many times would you expect to roll a fair die?
So we expect to roll a die about 15 times on average before we observe all sides at least once.
What does rolling a fair die mean?
In mathematics we say “fair dice” when we mean that there is an equally likely chance of landing on any face. Or this 20-sided Roman die that is 1,800 years old. So long as there is an equally likely chance of landing on any face then they are Fair Dice.
What is the expectation of getting 5 on a roll of a dice?
Two (6-sided) dice roll probability table
| Roll a… | Probability |
|---|---|
| 4 | 6/36 (16.667\%) |
| 5 | 10/36 (27.778\%) |
| 6 | 15/36 (41.667\%) |
| 7 | 21/36 (58.333\%) |
Is rolling a dice fair?
At its simplest, a fair die means that each of the faces has the same probability of landing facing up. A standard six-sided die, for example, can be considered “fair” if each of the faces has a probability of 1/6.
What is the expected value of a single roll of a fair 6 face die?
A quantity equal to the average result of an experiment after a large number of trials. For example, if a fair 6-sided die is rolled, the expected value of the number rolled is 3.5. This is a correct interpretation even though it is impossible to roll a 3.5 on a 6-sided die.
How many time would you expect to roll a fair die before all 6 sides appeared at least once?
From the numerical results, we can see that if we want to have at least 95\% probability of seeing all 6 faces, we need to roll at least 27 times.
How many times do you have to roll a dice to get a 6?
You need to roll the die, on the average, just four times before you see a 6. You need to roll the die, on the average, just four times before you see a 6.

How do you know if a dice is rigged?
Place the die in the water, note which side of the die faces upwards, and then give it a flick. For reasonably balanced dice, you should see a good variety of numbers facing upwards. For badly balanced dice, you’ll probably see the same one or two faces regularly. Throw those bad dice out.
When you roll a fair dice What is the probability that you obtain a 3 or a number less than 3?
There are 6 total possible results, so the probability of rolling a number less than 3 is 26 or 13 or 0.3333 .
