Question

Identify the resulting probability as theoretical or experimental.

The outcomes for rolling a number cube with faces labeled 1− 6 are equally likely. Find the probability that the number rolled is at least a 4.

A.The experimental probability is 1/2 .
B.The experimental probability is 1/3 .
C.The theoretical probability is 1/2 .
D.The theoretical probability is 1/3 .

Answer 1

theoretical means, the prob you got with out trials just basing on what you think to be true
experimental is when you look at the data, and then say oh look i got 4, 2 times out of 8 times so 2/8 prob

Answer 2

so "at least" a 4, means it has to be a 4 or 5 or 6, that is 3 out of the 6 possibilities, theoretically thats 1/2
