Explain

<p> This question is related to probability and expected value. <br /><br />Since the dice is biased, the probability of getting each number isn't the same. The probability of rolling a 4 is 2/5 and the probability of rolling a 5 is 0.23.<br /><br />We know that:<br />1. Expected value(E) of an event = (number of trials) * (probability of each event).<br />2. The number of trials in this case Louis rolling the dice is 100 times.<br />3. So the expected number of times Louis rolls a '4' = (number of trials * probability of getting a '4') =100 * 2/5 = 40 times,<br />4. Similarly, the expected value / number of times Louis rolls a '5’ = (number of trials * probability of getting a '5') = 100 * 0.23 = 23 times.<br />5. Hence, The extra times you would expect Louis to roll a 4 than a 5 = expected number of times Louis rolls a '4' - expected number of times Louis rolls a '5’= 40 - 23 = 17 times</p>
