Question

your friend, jamie, rolled a number cube and got the number 5. on his next turn, he says he wont be able to roll another 5 because he is only expected to roll a 5 once every six rolls. is your friend correct? explain your answer.

Explanation:

Each roll of a number - cube is an independent event. The probability of rolling a 5 on any single roll is $\frac{1}{6}$, regardless of previous rolls. Just because a 5 was rolled once does not mean it can't be rolled again on the next turn.

Answer:

No, your friend is not correct. Each roll of the number - cube is an independent event and the probability of rolling a 5 on the next roll is still $\frac{1}{6}$.
