jamie rolls a 6-sided die 30 times and determines that the experimental probability of rolling a 2 is 1/15. The theoretical probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6 What could Jamie do to make his experimental results more closely match the theoretical probability?

Answer:

Answer is to increase trials

Explanation:

Theoretical Probability is what it is expected to happen whereas Experimental Probability is what actually happens.

What Jamie should take into serious consideration is that Experimental probability gets gradually closer to theoretical probability as the number of trials increases.

In other words, Jamie needs to increase the number of trials in order to match experimental and theoretical probabilities every time more and more.
