Question

Based on the following results what is the experimental probability of rolling a 1?

Outcome Frequency
1 6
2 2
3 2
4 3
5 2
6 0

Answer 1

Answer 2

Add up all the frequencies. Divide the frequency of the target outcome by the sum of all frequencies.

Answer 3

let me try..

Answer 4

so add up 1-6/6?

Answer 5

No.. divide 6 by 6+2+2+3+...

Answer 6

I know. 1-6 means all the numbers between 0 and 6.

Answer 7

1+2+3+4+5+6/6

Answer 8

?

Answer 9

divide x by y means x / y not y / x

Answer 10

I got '16'.

Answer 11

It makes no sense for probability to be over 1.

Answer 12

wait,sorry.

Answer 13

can you give me the equation?

Answer 14

o wait, you mean
6/1+2+3+4+5+6
?

Answer 15

probability of an event A happening in N number of experiments:
\[P(A)=\frac{\text{number of times A event happens}}{N}\]

Answer 16

so - what would the numerator be?

Answer 17

event = the dice rolls a "1"
how many times does that happen?

Answer 18

6.

Answer 19

bingo

Answer 20

oooh.

Answer 21

:)

Answer 22

tyty!

Answer 23

and the denominator is

Answer 24

6. right?
