How does the relative frequency of rolling an even number compare to the theoretical probability?

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the statements.

The relative frequency of rolling an even number is________ the theoretical probability. The theoretical probability is ________ and the relative frequency is ____.

Answer 1

The relative frequency of rolling an even number is less than the theoretical probability. The theoretical probability is 1/2 and the relative frequency is 120/300 = 2/5.
