Question

Python program that simulates the rolling a die until the number 5 is first obtained. Repeat the experiment 10,000 times and print out the “Average Number of Rolls to Obtain a Six on a Die”, along with the average value. Include the average number of rolls your program calculates as a comment

Please use comments to better explain what is happening

   #now print average number and value  
   print("Average number of Rolls = "+str((OverallCount/10000)));
