A number cube is rolled 450 times. The number 3 comes up 67 times.
A. What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 3? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
B. What is the experimental probability of rolling a 3? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
A. The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 on a number cube is 1/6, since there are 6 possible outcomes and only one of them is a 3.
B. The experimental probability of rolling a 3 is 67/450, since 3 came up 67 times out of 450 rolls.
A. The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 on a number cube is 1/6 because there is only one favorable outcome (rolling a 3) out of a total of six possible outcomes (rolling a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).
B. The experimental probability of rolling a 3 is 67/450 because the number 3 came up 67 times out of a total of 450 rolls.
