Meg rolled a fair six-sided die 28 times. The table below shows the number of times each number was rolled: Number Cube Experiment Number on the Cube Number of Times Appeared 1 2 2 7 3 9 4 4 5 6 6 0 According to the results in the chart, what is the experimental probability of getting a number less than 3 on the die? 19 over 28 9 over 28 7 over 28 2 over 28

OpenStudy (danjs):

experimental probability, what happened actually ?

OpenStudy (danjs):

empirical

OpenStudy (danjs):

(number of times event happened) / (total events)

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

You want me to show you a picture of the question or you get it already?

OpenStudy (danjs):

how many times did he roll a number less than 3, a 2 or a 1 ?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Ummm hold on

OpenStudy (danjs):

(number of times rolling a 2 or a 1) / ( total # of rolls)

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

So what do i do can you explain please

OpenStudy (danjs):

add up the total times he actually rolled less than 3, and divide that by his total number of rolls

OpenStudy (danjs):

(7 + 2) / 28

OpenStudy (danjs):

That is the experimental/empirical/"real world" probability

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

I got 0.3214285714

OpenStudy (danjs):

just simplify the fraction, 9 out of 28 rolls he hit a 1 or 2

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[\frac{ total ~ 1 ~or~2}{ total~rolls }=\frac{ 2+7 }{ 2+7+9+4+6+0 } = \frac{ 9 }{ 28 }\]

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

So the answer is B

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

So the answer is B

OpenStudy (danjs):

sorry, yes b
