Erin rolls a standard number cube multiple times and records the data in the table above. At the end of the experiment, she counts that she has rolled 150 sixes. Find the experimental probability of rolling a six, based on Erin’s experiment.
@ijakez please help
Normally, the probability of rolling any number on a 6 sided dice would be 1/6, but this asks for the experimental probability, which is the probability you can determine from her experiment. So, you have to use the experiment as a guideline. How many times does she roll the dice total? How many times does she roll a 6?
the total time she rolls is the trials and the result is what it landed on i guess?
right @ijakez
Yeah. So how many times does she roll the dice and how many times does it land on 6?
well she rolls has 1000 trials, out of those 1000, 150 are sixes 150/1000 = 0.15?
@ijakez
@ijakez ? did i get it right mate?
Yep! That's right! But you have to convert 0.15 to a percent and then you're done.
