Answer 1

Answer:

(a) and (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

Select all true statements

First, calculate the total observed frequency;

$Total = 11 + 16 + 14 + 20 + 12 + 17$

$Total = 90$

(a): Relative frequency of 4 is 2/9

Relative frequency is calculated by:

$RF= \frac{Observed\ Frequency}{Total}$

For roll 4

$Observed\ frequency = 20$

So, the relative frequency is:

$RF = \frac{20}{90}$

Simplify

$RF = \frac{2}{9}$

(a) is true

(b): Experimental probability of 3 greater than its theoretical probability

The experimental probability is its relative frequency;

For roll 3

$Observed\ frequency = 14$

The experimental probability is:

$Pr = \frac{14}{90}$

Simplify

$Pr = \frac{7}{45} = 0.156$

To calculate  the theoretical probability, w have:

$S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ ---- sample space

$n(S)= 6$

$n(3) = 1$ --- number of times 3 occur

The theoretical probability is:

$Pr = \frac{1}{6} = 0.167$

The theoretical probability is $greater\ than\ the$ experimental probability.

(b) is false

(c): Experimental probability of 2 greater than its theoretical probability

Using the explanations in (b), we have:

For roll 2

$Observed\ frequency = 16$

The experimental probability is:

$Pr = \frac{16}{90}$

Simplify

$Pr = \frac{8}{45} = 0.178$

To calculate the theoretical probability, we have:

$n(S)= 6$

$n(2) = 1$

The theoretical probability is:

$Pr = \frac{1}{6} = 0.167$

The experimental probability is $greater\ than\ the$ theoretical probability.

(c) is true

(d): Relative frequency of 5 is 2/13

For roll 5

$Observed\ frequency = 12$

The relative frequency is:

$RF = \frac{12}{90}$

Simplify

$RF = \frac{2}{15}$

(d) is true
