Question

Jackie rolled a number cube 20 times. She rolled an odd number 8 times. What is the experimental probability, and what is Theoretical probability?

Answer 1

Based on the information given...

Experimental - how many times something occurs over how many times experiment is done

Odd number rolled - 8 times

Total times done - 20

This would mean the experimental probability is 8/20

Theoretical - favorable outcomes over possible outcomes

On a 6 sided number cube, you have 3 chances of rolling an odd, over 6 possible roll outcomes

This would mean the theoretical probability is 3/6 or 1/2
