To compare the experimental probability with the theoretical probability, we first need to calculate both.
Theoretical Probability:
A regular six-sided number cube (die) has the numbers 1 through 6. The even numbers on the die are 2, 4, and 6. There are 3 even numbers out of 6 possible outcomes.
The theoretical probability of rolling an even number is:
\[ P(\text{even}) = \frac{\text{Number of even outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \]
Experimental Probability:
Sadiq rolled the die 10 times and got an even number 7 times. Thus, the experimental probability is:
\[ P(\text{even, experimental}) = \frac{\text{Number of even outcomes (experimental)}}{\text{Total number of trials}} = \frac{7}{10} = 0.7 \]
Comparison:
- Theoretical Probability: 0.5
- Experimental Probability: 0.7
Now we can compare the two probabilities:
- \(0.7 > 0.5\)
Thus, the experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability.
Answer: The experimental probability was greater than the theoretical probability.
