What is the average number resulting from the dice rolls?
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the arithmetic mean of the given dice rolls.
First, let's identify all the given numbers:
The results from the dice rolls are .
We will follow these steps to find the average:
Let's execute these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the sum of the numbers:
.
Step 2: Count the number of rolls: There are rolls.
Step 3: Calculate the average:
The average can be rounded to two decimal places, giving us approximately .
Thus, the average number resulting from the dice rolls is .
Norbert buys some new clothes.
When he gets home, he decides to work out how much each outfit cost him on average.
What answer should he come up with?
Even though the numbers are listed, it's easy to miscount when adding quickly. Counting gives you the correct denominator - if you use 6 instead of 7, your average would be wrong!
It depends on what the question asks for! Here we round to two decimal places to get 3.29. As a fraction, is also correct.
Count every single roll separately! Even if numbers repeat, each roll counts toward your total. So 3 appears twice means you add 3 + 3 = 6 to your sum.
Add the numbers in a different order to double-check: try (4+6) + (3+3) + (5+1+1) = 10 + 6 + 7 = 23. Same result means your addition is right!
You can group identical values: 1 appears 2 times, 3 appears 2 times, plus 4, 5, 6 each once. So:
