Lorenzo Navarro · Answer 1

14 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Each result 1-6 has an equal chance. The probability is the number of chances divided by the total number. The total number of options is 6 since it is a six sided cube. Rolling a 6 which is represented once is a 1 out 6 likelihood.

1 out of 6 is 1/6 = 0.17 = 17%.

This means that 83% of the time will be unsuccessful of 18 rolls.

0.83 (17) = 14.11
