Science A question for you math/stats whizzes...

Fat Elvis · 08-02-2011, 09:18 PM

OK, so it has been many, many (many) years since I've had a statistics course so I've forgotten how to figure some pretty simple problems out. Because of my nearing senility, I was wondering if some of you folks could help clear the cobwebs.

Suppose I have a four sided die that is equally weighted; each side has a .25 probability of showing up on any roll. ( I know that I'm wording this wrong) How rolls would it take to say that a number did not appear for 2.57 standard deviations?

(I have a couple more questions as well, but I will wait for an explaination for this question first)

Thanks
