Question

You roll a six-sided die 25 total times. You keep track of the number of times you rolled a 3. You rolled a 3 a total of 8 times. What is the experimental probability of rolling a 3? What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 3?

Answer 1

Answer:

Experimental = 8/25 = 0.32 = 32%

Theoretical = 1/6 = 0.16 - 16.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental probability is the number of attempts you took and the umber of times you got a certain value. In this case it is 8/25.

This can be written as a decimal or percentage = 0.32 = 32%

Theoretical Probability is when you attempt something with a biased instrument. and the number of times you expect to get a certain value is the theoretical probability.

So, since this 6 sided dice was your instrument, we know that there is a total of 6 numbers on there and the number three appears only once.

So, the theoretical probability = 1/6

This can be written as a decimal or percentage too = 0.16 = 16.6%

Hope this helps
