Question

Simon used a probability simulator to roll a 12-sided number cube 100 times. His results are shown in the table below:

3
16
4
12

7
8

Using Simon's simulation, what is the frequency of rolling a 3 on the number cube? (5 points)


100 over 16

100 over 84

16 over 100

84 over 100

Answer 1

The probability would be 16/100

Explanation:

I took the test and got it right!! :)

Answer 2

The probability would be 16 over 100.

We can tell this because by the table, the number 3 was rolled 16 total times. You can state the probability by expressing with the number of times rolled over total times rolled. Since it was rolled a total of 100 times, we are left with 16/100.
