You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When you roll the cube there are 6 possible outcomes: 1 2 3 4 5 6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "There are 2 of these outcomes that are greater than 4. These outcomes are 5 and 6.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore you have 2 chances out of 6 of getting a number that is greater than 4 as an
\n" ); document.write( "outcome.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You can express this as $\"2%2F6\"$ which reduces to $\"1%2F3\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "This means that in every three rolls (when you make lots of rolls) you are likely to average
\n" ); document.write( "one number that is greater than 4. Make 9,999 rolls and on 3,333 of those rolls you are
\n" ); document.write( "likely to get a 5 or a 6 ...
\n" ); document.write( ".
