Jerry,

Yes, we can ask but this will only happen about once every 49300 times.

I was trying to illustrate two different points, the first was the case
where the number of die values doesn't divide evenly into the sample size.
And the other which is the more important is the case where we don't expect
each value (face value on a die) to show up in perfectly matched counts in
trial runs. I know that you know this, but I think Walala now gets the
point - I hope.

Clay

Of course I know it, and I hope I didn't offend. I'm sure Walala knows it too. I intended to point out that non-divisibility is both tangential and trivial, but might give the wrong idea to someone truly ignorant of the matter.
