Question

.
A fair number cube with faces numbered 1 through 6 was rolled 12 times. The cube landed with the number 2 face-up 6 times. What is the difference between the experimental probability and the theoretical probability of the number 2 landing face up?

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference between them is 1/2.

The theoretical probability of getting a 2 is 1/6.

The experimental probability in this case is 6/12 or 1/2.

1/2 - 1/6 = 3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3
