Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

Answer: Choice B) experimental probability is larger

-----------------------------------------------------------------

There are 3 odd numbers (1,3,5) out of 6 total (1,2,3,4,5,6) on the number cube. So theoretically, the chances of rolling an odd number are 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5

When we do the experiment, we roll an odd number 325 times out of 500 trials total. So the experimental probability is 325/500 = 0.65

Comparing the results of 0.5 and 0.65, we see that 0.65 is larger. So the experimental probability is larger.

Note: with a large number of trials, the experimental probability should get closer and closer to the theoretical probability. This is assuming that all trials are independent of one another and the number cube is properly weighted. 

Answer 2

Answer is b)The experimental probability is larger than the theoretical probability.
