The theoretical probability of landing on a 3 when rolling a six-sided number cube is 1/6 since there are 6 equally likely outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
The experimental probability of landing on a 3 after rolling the number cube 30 times is calculated as the number of times a 3 was rolled divided by the total number of rolls:
Experimental P(3) = 10/30 = 1/3
Therefore, the theoretical probability of landing on a 3 is 1/6 and the experimental probability is 1/3.
A six-sided number cube is rolled 30 times and lands on 3 ten times and on 5 eight times. Calculate the theoretical AND experimental probabilities of landing on a 3. Write your answer in the simplest form of a fraction.
Theoretical P(3) = Response area
Experimental P(3) = Response area
