How do the experimental probability and theoretical probability of rolling a compare?
Responses
A A 6 was rolled approximately 3% more than theoretically expected. A 6 was rolled approximately 3% more than theoretically expected.
B A 6 was rolled approximately 3% less than theoretically expected. A 6 was rolled approximately 3% less than theoretically expected.
C A 6 was rolled approximately 6% more than theoretically expected. A 6 was rolled approximately 6% more than theoretically expected.
D A 6 was rolled approximately 6% less than theoretically expected.

Answer:To answer this question, we need additional information. The question asks how experimental and theoretical probabilities compare, but it doesn't provide the actual experimental results. We need to know: - The number of times a six-sided die was rolled: This is the total number of trials in the experiment. - The number of times a 6 was actually rolled: This is the experimental result. Once we have that data, we can calculate the experimental probability (number of sixes rolled / total number of rolls) and compare it to the theoretical probability (1/6, or approximately 16.7%). Then we can determine whether the experimental result was higher or lower than the theoretical expectation and by what percentage. Without the experimental data, none of the options (A, B, C, or D) can be definitively chosen as correct.
