Answer 1

I need help.........!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I'll help you.. Hold on.

Answer 3

the cub with faces labeled one to six. Our desired outcome is four on a face of the cube.

Answer 4

Uuuuhhhhhhh

Answer 5

It's C.

Answer 6

let's assume we threw cub a 6 times.

Answer 7

pls don't give out the answer.

Answer 8

you can be reported.

Answer 9

whatever

Answer 10

you think you helped him ?

Answer 11

I'm actually here to learn. Not be given direct answers.

Answer 12

I was going to explain... you just didn't give me a chance.

Answer 13

well, you could team up with me.

Answer 14

sure.

Answer 15

anyways, back to the question.

Answer 16

let's assume you throw cube a infinite times.

Answer 17

theoretical means, the prob you got with out trials just basing on what you think to be true
experimental is when you look at the data, and then say oh look i got 4, 2 times out of 8 times so 2/8 prob

Answer 18

so "at least" a 4, means it has to be a 4 or 5 or 6, that is 3 out of the 6 possibilities, theoretically thats 1/2

Answer 19

Does that make sense?

Answer 20

Yes

Answer 21

u sure?

Answer 22

i mean @WWENXTFAN

Answer 23

I'm 85% sure.

Answer 24

let's assume we have a coin. and we throw it a 2 times.

Answer 25

Ok

Answer 26

what's the probability of it lands on heads.

Answer 27

There's also this way to explain it...

By stating "at LEAST a 4", it means that the desired numbers are 4 or higher: 4, 5, 6
That's 3 numbers out of 6. This can be modeled by the fraction 3/6 This is also equal to 1/2. Hope that helps!

Answer 28

remember that we only have 2 outcomes. tails or heads. you would see on heads or on tails.

Answer 29

so it's 1/2.

Answer 30

it's a coin. @K12awesomeness

Answer 31

then what you meant make no sense to me.

Answer 32

@WWENXTFAN i hope you understand it.

Answer 33

Hold on I have to clear my mind. My youngest sister stresses me out a lot.

Answer 34

Your not the only on who's sister stresses you out....

Answer 35

She is getting mad over a drink.

Answer 36

mines gettin mad over a toy!

Answer 37

anyway.. do you understand why it's C. ?

Answer 38

I think so

Answer 39

okay, good.

Answer 40

Ok thanks @K12awesomeness and @knov.

Answer 41

No Problem!

Answer 42

Okay bye. :)

Answer 43

bye!

Answer 44

:)

Answer 45

the experimental probability is the result of experiment. You might throw the cube say 100 times and record the numbers you get on each throw.
from those numbers you can work out the experimental probability.

The theoretical probability is what you would expect in theory. For example you would expect a probability of getting a 4 of 1/6 because there is one 4 and total of 6 numbers.
Theoretical probability of getting at least 4 is 1/2 :-

P(getting 4,5,6) = number of favourable results / number of possible results = 3/6 = 1/2
