Answer:
The experimental probability of rolling a 3 is greater than the theoretical probability of rolling a 3
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain the difference between the theoretical probability and
experimental probability
- Theoretical probability is what we expect to happen
- Experimental probability is what actually happens when we try it out
- Both of them calculated by the same way, the number of possible ways
an outcome can occur divided by the total
* Lets solve the problem
- The table has two column;
# Number Cube # Observed Frequency
1 18
2 16
3 24
4 26
5 16
6 20
Total 120
∵ The experimental probability of rolling a 3 = 24/120 = 1/5 = 0.2
∴ The experimental probability of rolling a 3 = 0.2 = 20%
∵ The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 = 1/6
∴ The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 = 0.1666 ≅ 17%
∵ 20% is greater than 17%
∴ The experimental probability of rolling a 3 is greater than the
theoretical probability of rolling a 3
