You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is "a dice" and not "a pair of dice", so
+1%2F6+ would be the probability,
+1%2F6+=+10%2F60+, so you would
expect +6+ to come up +10+ times
with a certain "confidence"
-------------------------
If you had rolled the dice 60,000 times,
you would expect +6+ to come up:
+1%2F6+=+x+%2F+60000+
+x+=+10000+
10,000 times
--------------
Your "confidence" that the number you got
was close to 10,000 is better than your
"confidence" that the number you get
rolling 60 times would be 10
--------------------------
That's the way probability works
