how do i do a problem like this becuase i got it wrong on my study guide and i want to know how to do it?


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.
Answered by MathMate
Theoretical probability (assuming a fair cube) for the number 3 is 1/6 (6 faces).
The experimental probability is based on an experiment, namely 67/450.
Since 67 is a prime, this is the simplest fraction.

Why would it be 1/6 MathMate?

Thanks, MathMate. you made this a little easier to understand.
Answered by Kiki
Agal, , it's 1/6 because a number cube only has one 3 and 6 sides
