Determine if this is an example of probability or statistics:
Of 120 dice throws, 20 are likely to be “two”. and why.
---
With one die the probability of a "two" = 1/6.
---
The dies act independently (they have no effect on one-another).
---
The expected # of "two's" when you throw 120 die = (1/6)120 = 20
