Question

Jonas is conducting an experiment using a 10-sided die. He determines that the theoretical probability of rolling a 3 is 1/10 .He rolls the die 20 times. Four of those rolls result in a 3. Which adjustment can Jonas make to his experiment so the theoretical and experimental probabilities are likely to be closer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Increase the number of throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here by probability 1/10 we means that the possibility of coming 3 on dice in the throw is just one out of three. The Jonas had made just 20 throws, and total outcomes of 3 came out to be four times. Which contradicts the theoretical value that is 1/10. However if we increase the number of throws , may be 1000 or more, then Jonas will realise the the probability of 3 as outcome is close to 1/10.

Answer 2

He can increase the number of trials.
