Math Grade 7 Probability

John knows that he should roll a 5 on a number cube one out of six times. When he actually rolled the number cube 6 times, he rolled a 5 three times. Which explanation describes this reasoning?

• Theoretical probability is 1/6; experimental probability was 1/6

• Theoretical probability is 1/6; experimental probability was 1/3

• Theoretical probability is 1/6; experimental probability was 1/2

• Theoretical probability is 1/6; experimental probability was 5/6

Boris has a coin and a number cube. The number cube is labeled 1 through 6. He flips the coin once and rolls the number cube once. What is the probability that the coin lands tails-up and the cube lands on an even number?
