Question

Zen rolled a fair six-sided die 12 times. The table below shows the number of times each number was rolled:

Number on the cube: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Number of times it appeared: 0. 3. 1, 2, 2, 4

According to the results in the chart, what is the experimental probability of getting a number greater than 3 on the die?

A. 3/12
B. 6/12
C. 9/12
D. 8/12

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the 0 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 12 trials, the numbers 4, 5, and 6 (the numbers greater than 3) appeared 2 + 2 + 4 = 8 times so the probability is 8 / 12.

Answer 2

4 was rolled 2 times
5 also 2 times
6 was rolled 4 times
So the result was greater than three eight times out of 12 rolls.
P=8/12=2/3
