To compare the experimental probability with the theoretical probability, we first need to calculate both.
Theoretical Probability: A regular six-sided die has the numbers 1 through 6. The even numbers on the die are 2, 4, and 6. So, there are 3 even numbers out of 6 total numbers.
The theoretical probability \( P \) of rolling an even number is: \[ P(\text{even}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \]
Experimental Probability: Sadiq rolls the die 10 times and gets an even number 7 times. Thus, the experimental probability \( E \) of rolling an even number is: \[ E(\text{even}) = \frac{\text{Number of even outcomes from experiments}}{\text{Total experiments}} = \frac{7}{10} = 0.7 \]
Comparison:
- Theoretical probability: 0.5
- Experimental probability: 0.7
Now comparing these:
- The experimental probability (0.7) is greater than the theoretical probability (0.5).
Thus, the correct response is: The experimental probability was greater than the theoretical probability.
