I am reading the question as this: how many times would I have to roll the dice to be at 2.51 std devs for not seeing that number come up..


so

.75% ^ x = .005


18.41 rolls in a row without N number showing up




disclaimer: im drunk , tired and going to bed LOL
As mentioned earlier, this is a uniform discrete distribution, not a normal distribution.
