Question

Jamie rolls a 6-sided die 30 times and determines that the experimental probability of rolling a 2 is Start Fraction 1 over 15 End Fraction. The theoretical probability of rolling a 2 is Start Fraction 1 over 6 End Fraction. What could Jamie do to make his experimental results more closely match the theoretical probability?

Answer 1

Answer:

Conduct more trials

Explanation:

Theoretical Probability can be defined as what someone is expecting to happen

Experimental Probability on the other hand, is defined as what actually happens.

Probability is usually calculated in the same way for experimental probability and that of theoretical probability. You divide the total number of possible ways in which a particular outcome can happen, by the total number of outcomes itself.

In Experimental probability, the more times a probability is tried, it gets closer and even more closer to theoretical probability.

So, for the question, Jamie should improve the number of tries more, so as to get his experimental probability results to be closer to the theoretical probability result.
