Theoretical Probability: 1/16
Experimental Probability: 3/12
A group of friends are playing a game in which they roll a 4-sided pyramid and pull a marble from a bag of 4 marbles. The faces of the pyramid are the same size and numbered 1 to 4. Each marble is a different color. The colors are green, blue, orange, and purple. The friend that rolls the number 3 on the pyramid and pulls a blue marble wins a point. The results from the first 12 turns are listed:
4 and blue 1 and blue 3 and orange
2 and green 3 and blue 2 and purple
2 and purple 1 and purple 4 and blue
1 and green 4 and orange 3 and green
Compare the theoretical and experimental probability of rolling a 3 on the pyramid and pulling a blue marble by dragging and dropping the descriptions into the box it matches.
