The table below shows the results of an experiment in which a number cube was tossed 20 times.
Outcome of toss: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Number of times
Outcome Occurred: 4 1 5 5 2 3
(table reads: outcome of toss 1=4number of times,2=1,3=5,4=5,5=2,and6=3)
Based on these results, if the same number cube was tossed 240 times, about how many times could the outcome 5 be expected?

some loaded dice!
Since 5 occurred 2 times in 20 throws, that's 10%
so, what's 10% of 240 throws?
so we are looking at 24 times an outcome of 5 can be expected?
that is correct.
Hi, I need help on a test!
1. You roll a number cube 20 times. It lands on 2 five times. What is the experimental probability of rolling a 2?
A.40%
B.10%
C.25%
D.17%
2. A baseball player gets on base 7 times and strikes out 5 times during a tournament. What is the experimental probability of the player getting on base?
A.5/7
B.7/12
C.5/12
D.7/10

To find out how many times the outcome 5 could be expected if the number cube was tossed 240 times, you can use the concept of probability.
First, calculate the probability of getting a 5 in a single toss. In the given table, the number 5 occurred 2 times out of the total 20 tosses. So, the probability of getting a 5 in a single toss is 2/20 = 1/10.
Next, multiply this probability by the total number of times the cube was tossed. In this case, multiply (1/10) by 240 to get the expected number of times the outcome 5 could occur:
(1/10) * 240 = 24
Therefore, if the same number cube was tossed 240 times, the outcome 5 could be expected to occur about 24 times.
