Question

A number cube is rolled 450 times.The number 3 comes up 67 times.

a.What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 3? write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

b.What is the experimental probability of rolling a 3?Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Theoretical probability (assuming a fair cube) for the number 3 is 1/6 (6 faces).
The experimental probability is based on an experiment, namely 67/450.
Since 67 is a prime, this is the simplest fraction.

Answer 2

Why would it be 1/6 MathMate?

Answer 3

Thanks, MathMate. you made this a little easier to understand.

Answer 4

Agal, , it's 1/6 because a number cube only has one 3 and 6 sides

Answer 5

A. 1/6
B. 67/450
THIS IS CORRECT!

Answer 6

Shut it is wrong

Answer 7

Oof... The answers are right but you have to put them in your own words.
