Question 3:

A 12-sided solid has faces numbered 1 to 12. The table shows the results
of rolling the solid 200 times. Find the experimental probability of
rolling a number greater than 10.

To find the experimental probability of rolling a number greater than 10, we need to determine the frequency of rolling a number greater than 10 and divide it by the total number of rolls.

Looking at the table, we can see that the frequency for rolling a number greater than 10 is the sum of the frequencies for rolling 11 and 12.

Frequency for rolling a number greater than 10 = Frequency of 11 + Frequency of 12

Frequency for rolling a number greater than 10 = 15 + 17 = 32

The total number of rolls is given as 200.

Experimental Probability of rolling a number greater than 10 = Frequency for rolling a number greater than 10 / Total number of rolls

Experimental Probability of rolling a number greater than 10 = 32 / 200

Experimental Probability of rolling a number greater than 10 = 0.16 or 16%

Therefore, the experimental probability of rolling a number greater than 10 is 16%.

Hopes this helps you out :)
