Question

Tommy conducts an experiment where he rolls a number cube, with sides labeled from 1 to 6, and then flips a coin. This table shows the results from 12 trials. Results 1 H 4 T 1 H 5 T 2 H 3 T 6 T 2 H 3 T 5 T 3 H 4 T How do the experimental probability and theoretical probability of rolling an odd number and then flipping a tail in Tommy's trials compare? Drag and drop the values or phrases to correctly complete the sentence. The experimental probability is , which is the theoretical probability of .

Answer 1

Answer:

The experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edg : )

Answer 2

The experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability.

The theoretical probability of rolling an odd and flipping a coin is 1/4.
1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

Looking at the results, there are 4 occasions where an odd numbers was flipped then tails.

That is 4 out of 12 or 1/3 which is more than 1/4 for the theoretical.
