Teresa rolled a number cube 1000 times and got the following results. Outcome Rolled 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of Rolls 1000 Fill in the table below. Round your answers to the nearest thousandths. (a) From Teresa's results, compute the experimental probability of rolling a 4. (b) Assuming that the cube is fair, compute the theoretical probability of rolling a 4.

Step 1
In this case, Teresa rolled a 4 a total of 1000 times out of 1000 rolls. So, the experimental probability of rolling a 4 is 1000/1000 = 1. Show more…

Teresa rolled a number cube 1000 times and got the following results. Outcome Rolled 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of Rolls 182 157 167 159 172 163 Fill in the table below. Round your answers to the nearest thousandths. (a) From Teresa's results, compute the experimental probability of rolling a 3 or 5. (b) Assuming that the cube is fair, compute the theoretical probability of rolling a 3 or 5. (c) Assuming that the cube is fair, choose the statement below that is true: With a large number of rolls, there might be a difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities, but the difference should be small. With a large number of rolls, there must be a large difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities. With a large number of rolls, there must be no difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities.

Kaitlin rolled a number cube 500 times and got the following results. Outcome Rolled | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 Number of Rolls | 84 | 81 | 93 | 81 | 82 | 79 Fill in the table below. Round your answers to the nearest thousandth. (a) Assuming that the cube is fair, compute the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 or 6. (b) From Kaitlin's results, compute the experimental probability of rolling a 1 or 6. (c) Assuming that the cube is fair, choose the statement below that is true: The larger the number of rolls, the greater the likelihood that the experimental probability will be close to the theoretical probability. The experimental probability will never be very close to the theoretical probability, no matter the number of rolls.
