Roberto Vega · Answer 1

First, Lets Find All The Even Numbers. 4, 6, 2, 6, 4, and 2.

The Dice Was Rolled 15 Times. They Also Got An Even Number 6 Times.

So, We Know It Is 6/15 Experimental Chance You Will Get An Even. We Can Make It A Percentage, Too.

6 x

- - - = - - -

15 100

15x = 6*100

15x = 600

Divide.

X = 600/15

600/15 = 40

X = 40

So, 40% Of The Time, You Will Get An Even Number.
