theoretical probability = 1/6 ( because the 3 is one of 6 numbers on the cube)
experimental probability = number of times a 3 is obtained / number of times the cube is thrown
OpenStudy (jake124):
3 is the answer?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
No
how many 3's were obtained in the experiment?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
Look at the first line of your question.
OpenStudy (jake124):

right and what was the total number of throws made?
OpenStudy (jake124):
450
OpenStudy (jake124):
67/450 ?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
right so plug those values into the formula for experimantal probability and you have ur answer
OpenStudy (welshfella):
yes 67/450
