Question

Aaron rolled a fair six-sided number cube, numbered 1 through 6, several times and recorded the data in the table below. Which statement about this situation is true? *

Answer 1

Aaron rolled a fair six-sided number cube, numbered 1 through 6 is explained below in details.

Explanation:

a. FALSE

Trial possibility of rolling a 6 =1/20 = 0.05

Logical possibility of rolling a 6 = 1/6 = 0.17(approximately.)

So the trial possibility of rolling a 6 is not equal to the logical possibility of rolling a 6.

b. FALSE

Trial possibility of rolling an even number = Trial possibility of rolling number 2,4 or 6 = 4/20+2/20+1/20= 7/20 = 0.35

Logical possibility of rolling an even number = 3/6 = 1/2=0.5

Therefore the Test possibility of rolling an even number is shorter than the logical possibility of the same.

c. TRUE

Trial possibility of rolling a 1= 6/20= 0.3

Logical possibility of rolling a 1= 1/6 = 0.17 (approx.)

So the Trial possibility of rolling a 1 is greater than the logical possibility of rolling a 1.

d. FALSE.

Trial possibility of rolling a 4= 2/20= 0.1

Logical possibility of rolling a 4 = 1/6 = 0.17 (approx.)

So the Trial possibility of rolling a 4 is less than the logical possibility of rolling a 4.
