23. Jeffrey rolled a 12-sided die 15 times. It landed on a number greater than 10 three times. How does the experimental probability of Jeffrey's rolls compare to the theoretical probability of rolling a number greater than 10?​

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Greater than 10 includes rolls of only 11 and 12 which is 1/6th of the die faces....you should expect 1/6 of the rolls to be greater than 10

15 * 1/6 = 2.5 <==theoretical probability which is within the realm of probability for this small sample (15 rolls)

His experimental probability is 3 rolls out of 15 = 1/5th ...slightly higher than the theoretical prob
