There are 10 outcomes that could happen because there were 10 bowled frames.
# of possible outcomes = 10 
6 strikes were rolled and thus there are 6 favorable outcomes. 
# of favorable outcomes = 6 
The probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes: 
P(strike)= #of favorable outcomes/# of possible outcomes=610=35=0.6=60% 
We note that the denominator of the probability is 5, which means that the number of possible outcomes in a simulation would need to be a. multiple of 5. 
P(strike) = = : =06 = 60% 
However, a number cube has 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and 6 is not a multiple of 5, thus a number cube will not be a good way to simulation.
