On a fair six-sided die, the outcome of any one face is:

AImpossible to determine
BAs likely as any other face
CMore likely than the others
DLess likely than the others
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. As likely as any other face
1. Fairness is precisely the statement that no face is favoured. 2. If you toss a fair, six-sided die, each face is as likely to occur as any other face. 3. Real dice may not be perfectly fair, though. 4. The spots on each face are usually small holes carved out and then painted to make them visible. 5. The outcomes may be affected by the slight weight differences due to the different numbers of holes in the faces. _Source: OpenStax Introductory Statistics 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 3 'Probability Topics', sections 3.1-3.5_
