Jack rolled a die 60 times and recorded the results in the table. What could Jack expect to happen to the probability of getting a four if he increased the number of trials to 450?

The experimental probability will get closer to the theoretical probability.

At any time during an experiment, you can find the probability of an event. The more trials that you have, the closer you generally get to the theoretical value.

Answer:

The probability of getting a certain number on a die is independent on the number of trials. It is 1/6.

Explanation:

I interpret this question as: what is the probability of getting a 4 on the 450th try? The answer is that precedent tries do not influence the next one. So the probability of getting a four is 1/6 because every roll of the die is an independent event.
