A student decides to run a simulation of rolling an even number with a single die. Use the simulated results from 20 attempts to estimate the probability, then compare your estimation with the theoretical probability.

1,5,3,2,3,6,5,6,3,3,4,4,1,3,6,5,32,2,6

Answer:

OPtion A is right.

Explanation:

Let us write the results as frequency distribution table using tally marks

X Frequency

1 2

2 3

3 6

4 2

5 3

6 4

20

No of trials =20

NO of even numbers appeared = 3+2+4 =9

Hence observed probability for even number =9/20

=0.450

Theoretical probability for even number =3/6 =0.5

Hence observed probability for even number <Theoretical probability for even number

OPtion A is right
