Answer

Calculating the expected number of odd rolls: \(300 \times \frac{1}{2} = \boxed{150}\)

Steps

Step 1 ：There are 300 rolls of the die, and each roll has a probability of \(\frac{1}{2}\) of being odd.

Step 2 ：We can find the expected number of odd rolls by multiplying the total number of rolls by the probability of a roll being odd: \(300 \times \frac{1}{2}\).

Step 3 ：Calculating the expected number of odd rolls: \(300 \times \frac{1}{2} = \boxed{150}\)
