anonymous 3 years ago Based on the following results what is the experimental probability of rolling a 1? Outcome Frequency 1 6 2 2 3 2 4 3 5 2 6 0

Add up all the frequencies. Divide the frequency of the target outcome by the sum of all frequencies.

3. anonymous

let me try..

No.. divide 6 by 6+2+2+3+...

6. anonymous

I know. 1-6 means all the numbers between 0 and 6.

7. anonymous

1+2+3+4+5+6/6

8. anonymous

?

9. anonymous

divide x by y means x / y not y / x

10. anonymous

I got '16'.

11. anonymous

It makes no sense for probability to be over 1.

12. anonymous

wait,sorry.

13. anonymous

can you give me the equation?

14. anonymous

o wait, you mean 6/1+2+3+4+5+6 ?

15. anonymous

probability of an event A happening in N number of experiments: $P(A)=\frac{\text{number of times A event happens}}{N}$

16. anonymous

so - what would the numerator be?

17. anonymous

event = the dice rolls a "1" how many times does that happen?

18. anonymous

6.

19. anonymous

bingo

20. anonymous

oooh.

21. anonymous

:)

22. anonymous

tyty!

23. anonymous

and the denominator is

24. anonymous

6. right?
