Jonas is conducting an experiment using a 10-sided die. He determines that the theoretical probability of rolling a 3 is (1/10) He rolls the die 20 times. Four of those rolls result in a 3. Which adjustment can Jonas make to his experiment so the theoretical and experimental probabilities are likely to be closer?

Answer:

He needs to keep trying.

Explanation:

When you are doing an experiment with probability, as you increase the number of attempts you also will be getting closer to the theoretical probability, since having an smaller sample could affect the actual probability since its easier to get different results, since there is more room for deviations in the probability.
