The experimental probability is calculated by taking the number of successful outcomes divided by the total number of trials.
In this case:
- Successful outcomes (landing on 6) = 3
- Total trials (total rolls) = 25
So, the experimental probability (P) of landing on a 6 is:
\[
P = \frac{\text{Number of Successful Outcomes}}{\text{Total Number of Trials}} = \frac{3}{25}
\]
To express this as a decimal, you can divide 3 by 25:
\[
P = 0.12
\]
Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on a 6 is \( \frac{3}{25} \) or 0.12.
