Question

A standard number cube was rolled multiple times, and the results were recorded in the table above. What can be said

about the experimental probability of rolling a two versus the theoretical probability of rolling a two?

Answer 1

Experimental Probability = 1/3

Theoretical Probability = 1/6

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Count how many times the number "2" shows up in the "Result" column. There are 4 instances of this value. This is out of 12 trials total.

Divide the two numbers to get 4/12 = 1/3 as the experimental probability

-------------

In contrast, the theoretical probability is 1/6 because there's 1 side labeled "2" out of 6 sides total.

The decimal form of each fraction is:

1/3 = 0.333 approximately

1/6 = 0.167 approximately
