Question

a number cube numbered 1-6 is rolled 30 times and lands on an even number 18 times. How does this frequency compare to the expected frequency based on the probability of the number cube landing on an even number?

Answer 1

Answer:

The frequency is 3 more than expected

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 favourable outcomes: {2, 4, 6}

There are 6 possible outcomes: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

probability of the number cube landing on an even number = favourable outcomes / possible outcomes = 3/6 = 1/2

If the cube is rolled 30 times, it is expected that in 1/2*30 = 15 times landed on an even number. The frequency: 18 is 3 more than expected
