Question

A number cube was rolled as part of an experiment. The results are shown in the table. Explain how to find the experimental probability of rolling a 6. A 2-column table with 6 rows. Column 1 is labeled Number with entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Column 2 is labeled Frequency with entries 13, 11, 9, 8, 10, 9.

Answer 1

The experimental probability of rolling a 6 is 9/60  which can be determined by dividing the frequency of the observation 6 with the total frequency of the experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental probability is different from theoretical probability because the former is obtained by experimentation  while the latter is what we expect theoretically.When we take a number of observations, the experimental probability and theoretical probability need not be the same.

In this question we have to determine the experimental probability of 6. It can be determined by dividing the frequency of the observation 6 by the total frequency of the experiment.

frequency of 6=9

total frequency=frequency of 1+frequency of 2+frequency of 3+frequency of 4+frequency of 5+frequency of 6

=13+11+9+8+10+9

=60

P(6)=frequency of 6/total frequency

=9/60
