15 times

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the expected count you have to multiply the probability of the favorable event with the number of repetitions/rolls. For a fair dice, every number will have the same probability to occur. The dice have number 1 to 6 which mean there are 3 odd numbers (2, 4, 6) out of 6 possible number.

Then the probability for odd number will be: 3/6 = 1/2

The expected count of odd numbers in 30 rolls will be = 1/2 * 30 = 15 times.
