An experiment was conducted where two dice were rolled 50 times. The sum of the faces are recorded in the chart.
What is the experimental probability of rolling an 8?

B 14%14%
C 12%12%
D 16%
D 16%
To find the experimental probability of rolling an 8, we need to determine the number of times an 8 was rolled out of the total number of rolls (50).
Looking at the chart, we need to find the number of times the sum of the dice faces was 8.
Now, we do not have the values from the chart, so we cannot determine the exact number of times an 8 was rolled. Therefore, we cannot provide the exact probability.
However, we can calculate an estimate based on the given answer choices.
Option A: 18%
Option B: 14%
Option C: 12%
Option D: 16%
Since we don't know the exact number, we can choose the answer choice that seems closest to the potential value. In this case, Option D, 16%, is the closest to the estimated probability.
Therefore, the experimental probability of rolling an 8 is approximately 16%.
To determine the experimental probability of rolling an 8, you need to analyze the data recorded in the chart.
First, find the number of times an 8 appeared in the chart. Look for the row or category that corresponds to the sum of 8 when two dice are rolled.
Next, calculate the experimental probability by dividing the number of times an 8 appeared by the total number of trials (in this case, 50).
Once you have the result, convert it to a percentage by multiplying it by 100.
Now, let's calculate the experimental probability of rolling an 8 using the given responses:
A) 18%
B) 14%
C) 12%
D) 16%
None of the given options match the calculated experimental probability. Therefore, none of the provided responses are correct.
