Question

Please; Help Needed !

The table shows the results of rolling a number cube, with sides labeled 1 through 6, several times.

What is the experimental probability of rolling a 1 or a 5?

Express your answer in simplest form.

Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6
Number of times outcome occurred 10 6 4 8 6 6

Answer 1

If they want a ratio it is 1/6 or 5/6

Answer 2

Experimental probability =

(number of times the result you wanted came up)
divided by
(number of times you tried it) .

-- Number of times a 1 or a 5 came up = (10 + 6) = 16

-- Number of times you tried it = (10 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 6 + 6) = 40

-- Experimental probability = ( 16/40 ) = 2/5 = 40% .
