Question

Ronaldo rolled a number cube 50 times. During these trials he rolled the number 5 a total of 7 times. Based on these trials, what is the probability of rolling a 5? Does this represent a theoretical or experimental probability? Explain.

Answer 1

The probability of rolling a 5 is still 1/6, and this is an example of experimental probability. The result of trials not being the same as theoretical results does not change the theoretical probability. The chance of rolling a certain number on a perfect die will always be 1/6.

Answer 2

Answer:$\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a 5 is $\frac{1}{6}$ because rolling a die is independent of previous results .It can show any number with equal Probability i.e. $\frac{1}{6}$

The above case is an example of Experimental probability but the probability is calculated the same way of favorable outcome to the total outcome.
