Question

A number cube was rolled as part of an experiment. The results are displayed in the table below. Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 Frequency 4 6 5 7 3 5 What is the best explanation of how to find the experimental probability of rolling a 3? To find the experimental probability of rolling a three, write a ratio of the number of times three occurs to the total number of trials. Simplify if necessary. To find the experimental probability of rolling a three, write a ratio of the total number of trials to the frequency of the number three. Simplify if necessary.

Answer 1

Number Frequency Probability

1 4 0.13

2 6 0.20

3 5 0.17

4 7 0.23

5 3 0.10

6 5 0.17

total 30 1.00

To find the experimental probability of rolling a three, write a ratio of the number of times three occurs to the total number of trials. Simplify if necessary.

5/30 = 1/6 or 0.166 or 16.6% or 17%.
