The tables show your results of rolling a number cube n times. The graph shows your results of using technology to simulate 1000 rolls. How do the experimental results compare to the theoretical probability of rolling an odd number.
When n = 20, experimental probability < theoretical probability
When n = 50, experimental probability < theoretical probability
When n = 1000, experimental probability = theoretical probability
The experimental probability becomes farther from the theoretical probability as n increases.
Jackson flipped a coin 100 times. He got heads 67 times and tails 33 times. Which statement best describes the situation?
67% is the experimental probability of getting a head on a coin flip.
33% is the theoretical probability of getting a head on a coin flip.
67% is the theoretical probability of getting a head on a coin flip.
33% is the experimental probability of getting a head on a coin flip.
Choose the statement that is true about the experimental and theoretical probability of rolling a number cube 20 times.
The experimental probability of rolling 3 is 1/6 and the theoretical probability is 3/20
The experimental probability of rolling 3 is 3/20 and the theoretical probability is 1/6
The experimental probability of rolling 1 is greater than the theoretical probability
The experimental probability of rolling 6 is 1/6 and the theoretical probability of rolling 6 is 1/4
The arrow of this spinner was spun 60 times. On 45 out of 60 times, the arrow landed on a section labeled with a multiple of 4. What was the difference between the theoretical probability and the experimental probability of the arrow landing on a section labeled with a multiple of 4? Give your answer as a percent.
