A standard number cube was rolled multiple times, and the results were recorded in the table above. What can be said about the experimental probability of rolling a four versus the theoretical probability of rolling a four?

What is the experimental probability? In other words, out of the 12 trials, how many times was a four rolled?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 times

Right, so 3/12, or 1/4
In theory, what is the probability of getting a four on a six-sided die?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/6
OpenStudy (aveline):
So which probability is bigger, and by how much?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the higher probably would be 1/4 = 3/12
rather than 1/6, 2/12
so 1/4 is greater by 1/12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is that theoretically ?

its theoretical nvm
OpenStudy (aveline):
No, the experimental probability was higher: 3/12
The theoretical probability was lower: 2/12
The experimental probability is 1/12 greater than the theoretical
