Question

i need help with this equation please there are two more possible answers that were cut off they are 17,2% and 19,5%

Answer 1

Consider that the experimental probability of an event is based upon the previous trials and observations of the experiment.

The experimental probability of occurrence of an event is given by,

$\text{Probability of an event}=\frac{\text{ Number of outcomes that favoured the event}}{\text{ Total number of trials or outcomes}}$

As per the problem, there are a total of 1230 trials of rolling a dice.

And the favourable event is getting a 2.

The corresponding experimental probability is calculated as,

$\begin{gathered} P(\text{ getting a 2})=\frac{\text{ No. of times 2 occurred}}{\text{ Total no. of times the dice is thrown}} \\ P(\text{ getting a 2})=\frac{172}{1230} \\ P(\text{ getting a 2})\approx0.13984 \\ P(\text{ getting a 2})\approx13.98\text{ percent} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the required probability is 13.98% approximately.
