Does the Probability Model Fit?

Check yes or no: does the cube look fair? Compare what happened with what a fair model predicts.

ExampleMaria rolls a number cube 60 times and records the results.
Face123456
Times rolled1114131291
A fair cube would give each face about the same number of times. Does this cube look fair?
yesno
Why: A fair cube would give each face about 60 ÷ 6 ≈ 10 times. The counts are all close to that, so the results are consistent with a fair cube — some variation is expected in any experiment.
