Chapter 0, Problem 66PRT

To determine

To find: the experimental probability of rolling as6as shown in the given table. Write the fraction in simplest form.

Answer to Problem 66PRT

  $P\left(6\right)=1:5$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A dice is rolled100 times and the outcomes is in the belowtable:

Number rolled	Number of times
1	17
2	15
3	14
4	18
5	16
6	20

Concept used:

Probability of the events is given by

  $P\left(E\right)=\frac{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$

Calculation:

According to the table,

Total number of possible outcomes of 6 is 20.

Therefore, the experimental probability of rolling as 6

  $P\left(6\right)=\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}$

Hence, $P\left(6\right)=1:5$ .
