It really depends upon the game. When I was GMing my AFMBE game, I would say between 11-50. The Exalted games I'm in, I'm usually shocked if I roll the dice 5 times. There have been several sessions where I haven't rolled any dice at all. Thus, I'll say 1-10.

I honestly have no idea. I'd say somewhere in the 50-200 range, although it could easily be less than 50... I really don't know. I don't even have a good enough concept to take a stab at it.
 

Varies wildly. I'm not even sure what an average would be.

Although, when I'm behind the screen, I tend to constantly roll dice just to keep the players nervous. (^_^)
 

As a player, maybe 25-100 in a battle-heavy session and 0-20 in a non-battle session or treasury division. As a DM, sky's the limit...there's quite possibly been sessions where I've been up near 1000 or more.

As a DM for a party of 8 players, probably 100+. I'd guess I have to roll about 50 times during a single typical combat (i.e. against larger groups of foes), if not more.

Outside of combat it's mostly opposed skill roles but the number of rolls is negligible.
