70?
>inb4 meme question
It's 70 right?
*die
>yorkshireeveningpost
Colour me surprised. The north is full of uneducated subhumans.
>>75680856
1/6 of 420 or (42/6)x10=70
>>75680856
It's 70
420 * 1/6
>>75681011
>>75681026
>>75681104
Yes it's 70, but that's not what 46% of all brotfagd could answer
the answer is weed
u blew it guys
>>75680856
420/6 = 70
>>75680856
How many sides on the die?
>>75680856
They may have been confused about how many dice there were.
>An ordinary, fair coins is flipped
>>75680856
>>75680856
>How many sides does the dice have?
If its 6 than the answer is 70.
>>75681304
>>75680856
How many can point out the grammatical error?
>die not dice
>70
>>75680856
I sincerely doubt our country would do much better
>>75681320
All coins only have 2 sides, retard
420/3=147
>>75680856
>An ordinary, fair dice is rolled
The answer is to smoke it, numbnuts.
Expected? Aren't dice rolls chance?
>a bunch of people could not answer this question that is pointless and worthless to the advancement of society
DUDE
>>75681324
> an ordinary
this isn't D&D, so it's fair to assume it's a 6-sided dice
The probability is 1/6, multiplied by 420
The answer is 70
>>75681439
Once, I've flipped a coin and it landed on its edge. Unfortunately, it didn't grant me any mind reading powers.
>>75681192
When I first read it I imagined two dice, because there are few real world games where you roll only one. Maybe that's where some of the bongs messed up too.
So if we say 10% made that mistake then we're now down to 36%. 36% just so happens to be the Muslim immigrant population there. Muslims can't into English or math.
>>75681409
bro they make 21 sided dice
>>75680856
They even made it 4 fucking 20 for the Brit yoofs to get interested. Sad!
I was gonna say 0 because there's no "number 3" on a dice.
>>75681480
A bunch of people being unable to do elementary probability is not something to be happy about.
>>75681441
...And they call us the stupid ones
>>75681563
>posting shit that never happened
Wew kid you're so cool.
>An ordinary, fair dice is rolled 420 times
DUDE
>>75680856
I feel like there is something grammatically wrong with this question, but I can't point out what.
How retarded are people in my country?
Can't even do fucking simple arithmetic
>>75681609
It says an ordinary fair die is rolled implying 1. That's not a math problem its a reading comprehension problem.
But that's not how probability works.
>>75680856
BLAZE IT
(Shouldn't it be die since it's single?)
>>75680856
420/6?
You mean 70?
>(1/6)*420
>420/6
>(10)*(42/6) <{you should know that one really fucking fast
>(10)*(7)
>70
That's my thought process in about 3 seconds max.
>>75681808
******dice
It says dice you idiot. You have to infer they mean die.
>>75680856
>An ordinary, fair dice is rolled
Brits can't even formulate a fucking sentence properly.
>an dice
people should pass english before they create math word problems
>>75680856
>calling a single die a "dice"
>surprised their population is retarded
>>75681744
I can't wait to build that wall Pedro.
Granting the grammatical error;
The answer is: None.
Because a fair die wouldn't have any prime numbers since the word prime is too ableist so having anything other than a 1 a 4 or a 6 on the die would trigger too many SJWs.
All these 70
It could be 0 or it could be 420, though the changes are abysmal
The question says expected, not on average
Guys you have to realize that the average normie retard is completely incapable of doing even the most basic statistics and probability.
Normies have serious issues with statistics and probability.
trick question, the number "3" doesn't appear on dice
>>75681799
"Dice" is a plural, and thus the question is not answerable in its current state.
>>75681441
Nigg it would be (420/6)/2
>>75680856
Ambiguous question. Dice is plural, but here they seem to be using it as singular. So do they want 1/6 of 420 (one die) or 2/36 of 420?
>>75682185
Expected outcome and average outcome is the same thing famalam
>>75680856
honestly sorry for being a turd but i have not used fractions in years
its 1/6 x 420/1
420/6
210/3 (this is probably an extra step)
70/1
>>75680856
Pretty stupid question in itself desu.
I could have expected 3 to come up 420 times, would not change shit.
Should have asked for how many times will 3 actually turn up most probably, not misleading shit like "how often is it expected".
>>75680856
dice = 6 sides so its 420 / 6
> 420 / 10 = 42
42/ 6 = 7
> 7 x 10 = 70
so 6 x 70 = 420
>>75681960
420/6
120/6+50
20+50
70
This is the clearly superior thought process
I don't think non-white Americans could fare any better.
>>75682588
then it's just finnish education
DUDE MATHS LMAO
>>75680856
I got an A in maths though, I'm not stupid I pwomise
>>75681439
Ahoy, fellow retard. Reread what I wrote.
>>75681965
You can't use an before plural nouns ya dingus. They fucked up the question, but anyone with a 3rd grade reading level can figure that out.
>>75681409
Nigger
>>75682716
>>75683346
>Look at the image
>Wonder if there are any 2 sided dice
A coin is just a 2 sided die
3 is expected 70 times like it was already stated by many.
The probability of all rolls scoring 3 is (1/6)^420, which we can safely round to "will never fucking happen".
>>75683572
Yep, a coin or a d6 with 1, 2, and 3 being for 1 and 4, 5, and 6 being 2.
>>75683572
Mine=blown
Dice are not perfectly random. Some numbers will always appear slightly more often than others. The material of the dice, the size of the markings, whether they are negative (a hole) or positive (painted on faces) etc. all play a factor in the outcome of the roll.
3*420=760
>>75681461
Fucking this
The number 3 shouldn't be expected to get rolled at all.
There is a chance that it would appear 70 times but not expected, to expect what is chance is fucking retarded.
>>75681441
>>75681461
>>75681480
>>75682185
>>75682500
>>75682705
purge yourselves from the gene pool
>>75682135
this or "DUDE" are the only correct answers
>>75680856
I assume fair dice means 6 sided one? 420/6 and you get how many times each side should appear.
I'm dumb but it's not that fucking difficult.
>>75683572
there are lots of versions of two sided or three sided die and other such odd numbers. some are simply meant to fall one side or the other while others are made with multiple sides but repeated possibilities(such as a standard die with only 1 and 2 as results)
>>75684839
thanks for that unnecessary and autistic bit of information there Einstein
>>75680856
46% of britbongs took tea & biscuits 101 instead of introduction to statistics
>>75680856
proba for 1 roll is 1/6 and you repeat it 420 times so i expect 420 * 1/6 times the number 3
>>75681100
>t. rashid
DUDE WEED LMAO
6 times because British fair dice only roll 6's almost all the time.
>an ordinary, fair dice
The fuck is with this injecting of semantics into my math problems? Why not just call it a dice with six sides? I might be a Dungeons 'n' Dragons enthusiast and assume it's a 24-faced dice being rolled.
>420
ayy lmao
>>75688493
God you are dumb
Fair implies that every side Has a 1/6 Chance to be rolled you dumb bong
Laplace you knoe?
>>75688728
Fair implies it treats minorities like 6 and 1 with extra privileges shitlord.
>>75684839
We know. Theres also the human factor, incase the one who rolls it has a certain tendency or whatnot.
Just replace the word "dice" with "random number generator with digits from 1 to 6".
>>75681987
The only thing wrong with it is that they used the plural form.
>>75685270
You're "that kid" in school, aren't you.
>>75680856
But what happens if you only decide to roll my one-sided die?
>>75682760
The superior thought process would just be 420/6. Problem solved in one step
Expected by who? Checkmate mathfags.
>>75680856
This is dumb. More than 46% of respondents got this wrong, I guarantee you.
Dice is plural, but the verb 'is rolled' is conjugated singly. So which is it?
Presumably the author either used the wrong noun (meant a die, in which case the answer would be 70) OR else he meant 'a pair of dice' which would be an ordinary thing to see as well, in which case the answer is between 23 and 24.
But his intention is not in evidence or available as a reference, we must go by his words, and therefore the only correct response is MU.
>>75680856
>70
>not rounding up.
1/6 = 0,166666666 = 0,17
420x0,17 = 71,4
>correct answer is 71,4 times
>>75681521
Making assumptions like that'll get you killed nigga
>>75680856
To be fair, that is theory. If you actually rolled it 420 LMAO XD times you could get 3 once or 420 LMAO XD times
>>75690415
>theory
Just like evolution. Atheists btfo once again.
>>75682895
Same F.a.m, went to the worst school in England, yet got one of the best educations In the world.
>>75680856
I would say you can expect it 70 times if it has six sides and if you assume that the question is to be taken in its obvious meaning.
Then, you could debate about how to understand "How many times is the number 3 expected". Are we to take it as "Number on the top, result" or "how many times will you see the number 3", which would then take in account at least 3 visible faces.
>>75680856
It's never expect... But the probability is 70.
>>75689963
That's assuming the person answering knows basic math
>>75683671
dam did u do hs probability too??
>>75689051
>random
you mean pseudorandom
>>75691337
the most probable number of 3s to appear after 420 rolls is 70.
>>75681609
>When I first read it I imagined two dice, because there are few real world games where you roll only one. Maybe that's where some of the bongs messed up too.
>>75689333
...so you posted to agree that the sentence is improperly formed?
Dice is accepted as a singular form, and dices as plural, even if they shouldn't be. This is what happens when to your language when people don't know how to use it.
>>75686534
>dice is
if it was meant to be plural it would say "dice are"
We are awful at maths, you can find loads of shit only about us not being able to do simple shit for some reason

>>75681667
That's not even probability. It's 4th grade math text problem solving basics.
I teach 4-6th graders and that's how I spot if my kids do their homework on their own or if their parents solve it for them.
kids:
420*1/6 = 70
You can expect to roll a 3 70 times in 420 rolls.
parents:
2 pages full of equations crossed out followed by
>HOW CAN YOU REQUIRE MY KID TO SOLVE UNIVERSITY LEVLE MATHS PROBLEMS????????? FUCK YOU WE CALL THE PRINCIPAL !!!! THIS IS RACIST AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT!!!!!! YOU WILL HEAR FROM OUR LAWYER !!!!!!
Every fucking time.
