Tyson has two movie tickets and wants to randomly select one of six friends to go with him. He rolls a six-sided die to make his decision. He tested this model 60 times and recorded the results in this table.

Result of Roll Times Result Occurred
1 - 11
1 - 0.18
2 - 9
2 - 0.15
3 - 9
3 - 0.15
4 - 10
4 - 0.17
5 - 11
5 - 0.18
6 - 10
6 - 0.17
Do you think the relative frequency from the experiment is a good predictor of the theoretical probability? Why or why not?

Answer:

The relative frequency of rolling a particular number can be calculated using the formula

relative frequency , where f is the actual frequency of an event and n is the number of times the experiment is performed. This experiment had the following results:

The relative frequency of rolling a 1 is 0.2.

The relative frequency of rolling a 2 is about 0.23.

The relative frequency of rolling a 3 is about 0.13.

The relative frequency of rolling a 4 is 0.15.

The relative frequency of rolling a 5 is 0.15.

The relative frequency of rolling a 6 is about 0.13.

The relative frequencies of rolling 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are quite similar. So, the relative frequency is a good predictor of the theoretical probability.
