Jonathan Massey · Answer 1

His assumption is based upon his belief that the average is fixed and not just random; the number each person gets is random, and with none more likely than another.

Alison Meyer · Answer 2

Sample Response: Sean's error is that he just looked the number of times 1 occurred. The theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is found by dividing the number of desired outcomes by the total number of outcomes. The correct probability of rolling a one is 1/6.
