A die is tossed 100 times What is the most reasonable prediction of the number of times the die will land on 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A die has 6 sides and every side has the same probability of being chosen. So for any throw the possibility of getting a 2 is 1/6. If the die is thrown 100 times then the total number of all possible 2s would simply be (1/6)x100 or 16.

To get a 2 on every throw becomes (1/6)100 or 1.5306467074865063414445284410446e-78

How many Canadians are bilingual?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the Statistics Canada website (refer to the links, below),

the 2001 Canada census form asked citizens the following question:

"What language(s), other than English or French,

can this person speak well enough to conduct a conversation?"

The responses to that question resulted in the following:

"About 5,231,500 people reported to the 2001 Census that they were bilingual . . .

In 2001, these individuals represented 17.7% of the population,

up from 17.0% in 1996."

By extrapolation of these numbers, the total population of Canada was about 29,556,497 in 2001.

(n.b., although there are more recent Canada census records online, none give the information in the above format or in any way that could be presented easily, here)
