this is the count for each number you reported for easy viewing:
Code
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
7	6	6	6	4	3	3	1	2	2	4	3	6	2	1	1	4	6	3

I know people you would expect that every number has the chance of 1/20 times 70. So the most common count "should" be 3-4. But randomness doesnt really work like that with small numbers such as 70.

Here are some other d20 rolls for 70 times ( https://rolladie.net/ ):
Code
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
1	5	9	5	2	2	2	2	3	2	5	5	7	2	4	2	4	3	2	3

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
1	6	4	4	5	3	5	1	6	4	1	9	5	5	1	1	3	1	3	2

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
4	2	4	5	4	7	5	1	4	2	3	3	3	6	2	3	1	6	2	3


the second dice roll gave me 9 times 12 and only 1 time 11.. thats only 10% chance while it should be the same for 12 and 11!

this is a d20 roll for 9999 times, should be farely equal right?
Code
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
493	487	516	521	491	537	489	491	558	491	576	470	508	488	471	512	499	483	468	450

even now you see still differences from 470 (dice result 12) to 576 (dice result 11) although each dice result has the same chance! But still only 80% chance compared.


Here are 100000 times a d20 roll (generated with excel because the website crashes with such high numbers):

1 4947
2 4968
3 5059
4 4931
5 5084
6 5143
7 5044
8 4973
9 5030
10 5032
11 4896
12 5004
13 5109
14 5100
15 4931
16 4960
17 4954
18 4989
19 4895
20 4951


now you can see the reuslts are more like the "expected" ones. each dice number has the same chance and should average 5000 times (20 * 5000 = 100000).
Still you see lows such as 4895 (dice result 19) and highs such as 5143 (dice result 6) - meaning a 95% chance compared although the "virtual dice" is not weighted at all. I just trust excels random generator here.

If you have excel here you can generate endless results for yourself:

german version: =ZUFALLSMATRIX(100000;1;1;20;1)
english version: =RANDARRAY(100000;1;1;20;1)

The higher the number of rolls the lower the extreme differences get.

for science 1 million times:

1 50318
2 49848
3 49769
4 49885
5 49901
6 50148
7 50179
8 50236
9 50011
10 50031
11 50228
12 49868
13 49831
14 49725
15 49834
16 50106
17 49587
18 50020
19 50115
20 50360
