Dree rolls a strike in 6 out of the 10 frames in bowling. What is the experimental probability that Dree will roll a strike in the first frame of the next game? Explain why a number cube would not be a good way to simulate this situation.

I am confused on the above. Please help.

Doesn't this come with multiple choice?
Answered by Patrick
Hello no it does not unfortunately. This is all new to me.

OK, I found something another tutor posted.

prob = 6/10 = 3/5

a cube has 6 sides, so division by 6 would be the model for probs, we need a division by 5 or 10 or 15 ,etc

Does that help?

Hello,

I am confused on what the meaning is of the below:

a cube has 6 sides, so division by 6 would be the model for probs, we need a division by 5 or 10 or 15 ,etc

I understand that a cube has 6 sides but I am lost on the rest.

The question asks you why a number cube wouldn't be a suitable model.

Your problem must be divisible by 5. A number cube is not divisible by 5.

Hello Ms. Sue I guess the part that I am trying to understand is how do you see that the problem or what problem must be divisible by 5? That is what I am lost on.
