Answer 1

@phi

Answer 2

empirical probability is what you found by doing the experiment
how many times did you roll 5 in this experiment?
then divide that number by the total number of rolls (50 in this case)

Answer 3

5/50

Answer 4

and then i simplify?

Answer 5

1/10

Answer 6

but that's not in my answer choices

Answer 7

How many times did you roll a 5? Are you misreading your data? The answer is not 5

Answer 8

oh so it would be 0/50?

Answer 9

what does frequency mean in this case?

Answer 10

the top line is what you rolled
the second line is how often you got that number.
(notice they add up to 50: each of the 50 rolls had to be some number)
and in this case, none came up as a 5 (the dice must not be "fair")

Answer 11

oh okay, i understand now. can you help me with another problem?

Answer 12

or should i repost it?
