Teresa rolled a number cube 25 times and got the following results. Outcome Rolled 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of Rolls 6 5 4 3 5 2 Answer the following. Round your answers to the nearest thousandths. (a) From Teresa's results, compute the experimental probability of rolling a 1. (b) Assuming that the cube is fair, compute the theoretical probability of rolling a 1.

Step 1
To calculate the experimental probability, we need to divide the number of times the event occurred (rolling a 1) by the total number of trials (25). 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.
