70?

>inb4 meme question

It's 70 right?

*die

>yorkshireeveningpost
Colour me surprised. The north is full of uneducated subhumans.

1/6 of 420 or (42/6)x10=70

It's 70

420 * 1/6

Yes it's 70, but that's not what 46% of all brotfagd could answer

the answer is weed

u blew it guys

420/6 = 70

How many sides on the die?

They may have been confused about how many dice there were.

>An ordinary, fair coins is flipped

>How many sides does the dice have?

If its 6 than the answer is 70.

...

How many can point out the grammatical error?
>die not dice
>70

I sincerely doubt our country would do much better

All coins only have 2 sides, retard

420/3=147

>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

> 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

Once, I've flipped a coin and it landed on its edge. Unfortunately, it didn't grant me any mind reading powers.

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.

bro they make 21 sided dice

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.

A bunch of people being unable to do elementary probability is not something to be happy about.

...And they call us the stupid ones

>posting shit that never happened

Wew kid you're so cool.

>An ordinary, fair dice is rolled 420 times

DUDE

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

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.

BLAZE IT
(Shouldn't it be die since it's single?)

420/6?

You mean 70?

>(1/6)*420
>420/6
>(10)*(42/6) (10)*(7)
>70

That's my thought process in about 3 seconds max.

******dice
It says dice you idiot. You have to infer they mean die.

>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

>calling a single die a "dice"
>surprised their population is retarded

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

"Dice" is a plural, and thus the question is not answerable in its current state.

Nigg it would be (420/6)/2

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?

Expected outcome and average outcome is the same thing famalam

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

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".

dice = 6 sides so its 420 / 6

> 420 / 10 = 42
42/ 6 = 7
> 7 x 10 = 70
so 6 x 70 = 420

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.

then it's just finnish education

DUDE MATHS LMAO

I got an A in maths though, I'm not stupid I pwomise

Ahoy, fellow retard. Reread what I wrote.

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.

Nigger

...

>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".

Yep, a coin or a d6 with 1, 2, and 3 being for 1 and 4, 5, and 6 being 2.

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

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.

purge yourselves from the gene pool

this or "DUDE" are the only correct answers

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.

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)

thanks for that unnecessary and autistic bit of information there Einstein

46% of britbongs took tea & biscuits 101 instead of introduction to statistics

proba for 1 roll is 1/6 and you repeat it 420 times so i expect 420 * 1/6 times the number 3

...

>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

God you are dumb

Fair implies that every side Has a 1/6 Chance to be rolled you dumb bong

Laplace you knoe?

Fair implies it treats minorities like 6 and 1 with extra privileges shitlord.

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".

The only thing wrong with it is that they used the plural form.

You're "that kid" in school, aren't you.

But what happens if you only decide to roll my one-sided die?

The superior thought process would just be 420/6. Problem solved in one step

Expected by who? Checkmate mathfags.

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.

>70
>not rounding up.

1/6 = 0,166666666 = 0,17
420x0,17 = 71,4

>correct answer is 71,4 times

Making assumptions like that'll get you killed nigga

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

>theory
Just like evolution. Atheists btfo once again.

Same F.a.m, went to the worst school in England, yet got one of the best educations In the world.

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.

It's never expect... But the probability is 70.

That's assuming the person answering knows basic math
