5. Sam rolled a standard number cube 20 times. He rolled a five 6 times. What is the experimental probability of rolling a 5 bas
ed on Sam’s experiment? Give answer as a simplified fraction. (Please help and if you can, show your answer so I can learn from it! Thanks in advance too!)
Experimental probability is the ratio of number of times the event is occurring to the total number of the trials of the experiment. This implies that it is a ratio of the number of times an event is occurring to the total number of times that the activity has been repeated. Thus we shall use the formula: Experimental probability=(# of occurrence of the event)/(total # of trials made) =6/20 =3/10 Answer: 3/10
