A six-sided number cube labeled 1 through 6 is rolled 600 times. An odd number is rolled 272 times. Compare the experimental probability of rolling an odd number with the relative frequency of rolling an odd number and select one of the statements below that best describes the situation.

Question

will medal and fan

anonymous · Answer

choices are:
The experimental probability and relative frequency are the same.
 The experimental probability is larger than the relative frequency.
 The experiment probability is smaller than the relative frequency.
 There is not enough information to determine the relative frequency.

anonymous · Answer

i am not sure

adamaero · Answer

do you know the odds of rolling any one number on a six sided die?
for example, rolling a 5 on a six-sided die

anonymous · Answer

it should be 3 out of 6

anonymous · Answer

well 1 out of 6 but for general odd numbers it 3 out of 6

adamaero · Answer

yes, so all you have to remember from there is to multiply the probability
meaning, 3/6 chance of rolling an odd
3/6 = 1/2

adamaero · Answer

That might sound confusing since I didn't use punctuation.
Just multiply the chance of getting an odd by the amount of times
so .5*300 is the theoretical probability
