A six-sided number cube is rolled 30 times and lands on 3 ten times and on 5 eight times. Calculate the experimental probability of landing on a 3. Write your answer in the simplest form of a fraction.(1 point)

The experimental probability of an event is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of successful outcomes}}{\text{Total number of trials}} \]

In this case, the number of times the cube landed on 3 is 10, and the total number of rolls is 30. Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on a 3 is:

\[ \text{Experimental Probability of 3} = \frac{10}{30} \]

To simplify the fraction \(\frac{10}{30}\), we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 10:

\[ \frac{10 \div 10}{30 \div 10} = \frac{1}{3} \]

Thus, the experimental probability of landing on a 3 is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{3}} \]
