Question

Alia and her husband have a list of six names for their new baby boy. Each name is equally likely to be picked. They make the table to assign each name a number, then they roll a die 150 times. The results are in the table. Select all the true statements.

Answer 1

3 and 4 are the only true statements.

Answer 2

3 and 4 are the only true statements.

Explanation:

1 is incorrect because the experimental probability is calculated by dividing 24 by 150, which gives us 0.16 or 16%, not 0.15 or 15%.

2 is wrong because 6 ÷ 150= 0.04, giving each number a 4% chance of occurrence.

3 is correct because Karl occurs 28 of the 150 times. 28 ÷ 150= 0.1866666666666667, which is 18.66666666666667%, or about 19%.

4 is also correct because the theoretical probability of each name is 25.

5 is false because the experimental probability of Martin, Paxton, and Sal were less than the theoretical probability.
