Based on the experimental probability, predict the number of times that you will roll a 5 if you roll the number cube 300 timesExperiment result on previews question: The number 5 was rolled 9 times out of 20 on a previous question

Step-by-step explanation: To understand this problem we need to know that there are two different types of probability. The experimental probability and the theoretical probability.

- The experimental probability occurs once you conduct the experiment and after the experiment, you calculate the probability using the result of the experiment.

- The theoretical probability occurs before the experiment. Once you have information about the situation so you calculate the probability the get a specific result before trying.

Step 1: For this question, once we have a number cube with faces 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 and we want to know the experimental probability to get a 5 once you roll the cube 300 times you would need to get in real life a number cube and to roll it 300 times. After this experiment we would get all the results of each time we roll it and we would know how many times (from 300 times) we got a number 5. After that, we would use the following formula


Experimental_(probability)=\frac{number\text{ of times we got a number 5}}{300}

Once the get this result we finish the question.
