a number cube is rolled 450 times the number 3 comes up 67 times what is the theoretical probability of rolling a 3 write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. what is the experimental probability of rolling a 3 write your answer as a fraction in simplest form

OpenStudy (welshfella):

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):

67 times

OpenStudy (welshfella):

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

OpenStudy (jake124):

can u help me with 2 more

OpenStudy (welshfella):

sorry no Its late in Uk now and i have to be up early tomorrow.
