Theoretical probability is calculated by taking the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, there are 6 possible outcomes when rolling a number cube (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).
Therefore, the theoretical probability of landing on a 3 is 1 out of 6, or 1/6 ≈ 0.167.
Experimental probability is calculated by taking the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of trials. In this case, the cube landed on a 3 a total of 15 times out of 50 trials.
Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on a 3 is 15 out of 50, or 15/50 = 0.3.
In this case, the experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability.
A stick sided number cubes roll 50 times and land on 3 15 times and on 5 6times. Calculate the theological and experimental probabilities of landing on a three
