Prisha rolls a fair number cube multiple times and records the result of each roll. her results are shown in the table. number cube number observed frequency 1 18 2 16 3 24 4 26 5 16 6 20 how does the experimental probability of rolling a 3 compare with the theoretical probability of rolling a 3? the experimental probability of rolling a 3 is mc011-1.jpg greater than the theoretical probability of rolling a 3. the experimental probability of rolling a 3 is mc011-2.jpg less than the theoretical probability of rolling a 3. the experimental probability of rolling a 3 is mc011-3.jpg greater than the theoretical probability of rolling a 3. the experimental probability of rolling a 3 is mc011-4.jpg less than the theoretical probability of rolling a 3.

The experimental probability of rolling a 3 is greater than the theoretical probability of rolling a 3

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the difference between the theoretical probability and

 experimental probability

- Theoretical probability is what we expect to happen

- Experimental probability is what actually happens when we try it out

- Both of them calculated by the same way, the number of possible ways

 an outcome can occur divided by the total

* Lets solve the problem

- The table has two column;

# Number Cube             # Observed Frequency

           1                                           18

           2                                          16

           3                                          24

           4                                          26

           5                                          16

           6                                          20

        Total                                      120

∵ The experimental probability of rolling a 3 = 24/120 = 1/5 = 0.2

∴ The experimental probability of rolling a 3 = 0.2 = 20%

∵ The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 = 1/6

∴ The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 = 0.1666 ≅ 17%

∵ 20% is greater than 17%

∴ The experimental probability of rolling a 3 is greater than the

  theoretical probability of rolling a 3

a) false; the points do not have to be in a straight line.

step-by-step explanation:

the points could be in the shape of a triangle

b is incorrect

c is incorrect because it is saying the immediately don't form one when they are capable of doing so

d is incorrect
