Sissy's class used a number cube that has sides labeled one through six. The students rolled the number cube 500 times and recorded the result for each roll which is the best prediction of the number times the number cube landed on a side numbered greater than 4?

you roll a number cube numbered one to six 12 times. P(5) = 2/3. what type of probability is illustrated and why?

To predict the number of times the number cube landed on a side numbered greater than 4, we need to find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 and multiply it by the total number of rolls.

The probability of rolling a number greater than 4 is 2/6 or 1/3 (since there are 2 sides out of 6 that are greater than 4).

So, the prediction can be calculated as:

Prediction = Probability of rolling a number greater than 4 x Total number of rolls

Prediction = (1/3) x 500 = 166.67

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the best prediction is that the number cube landed on a side numbered greater than 4 about 167 times out of 500.

The given probability P(5) = 2/3 is an example of experimental probability.

Experimental probability is obtained by conducting an experiment (in this case, rolling the number cube 12 times) and calculating the ratio of the number of times an event occurred (rolling a 5) to the total number of trials.

Since the given probability is based on the results of a specific experiment rather than theoretical or hypothetical probabilities, it is an example of experimental probability.
