A special 8 sided die is rolled 20 times with these outcomes: 2, 4, 7, 3, 1, 5, 4, 6, 3, 8, 6, 2, 5, 2, 6, 1, 7, 4, 5, 6, ....... What is the experimental probability of rolling a 2 or a 4? Is this number greater than or less than the theoretical probability of rolling a 2 or a 4? Explain
Accepted Solution
A:
One fourth because "a 2 or a 4" means rolling either. So, you have 2 numbers out of 8. [tex] \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
