The bar graph shows the results of rolling a number cube (a die) 50 times. What is the probability of rolling an odd number? How does this compare with the theoretical probability of rolling an odd number? Experimental Probability. Theoretical Probability

P(odd) = % P(odd) = %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (as shown in graph):

The results of rolling a number cube (a die) 50 times.

Rolling 1: 10 times

Rolling 2: 4 times

Rolling 3: 8 times

Rolling 4: 11 times

Rolling 5: 8 times

Rolling 6: 9 times

Solve for:

The probability of rolling an odd number (1, 3, 5).

Solution:

Step 1: Define the formula for calculating the probability

P = number of elements/total number of elements

Step 2: Perform the calculation

1) Theoretically, a fair die of 6 sides would give the equal chance to obtain 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

According to the formula in step 1, the number of elements in both cases are the same (odd: 1, 3, 5 => 3 elements, even: 2, 4, 6 => 3 elements, the total element is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 => 6 elements).

=> P(obtain odd number theoretically) = P(obtain even number theoretically) = 50%

2) Experimentally, apply the formula in step 1, we have:

The number of elements = Times of rolling 1 + Times of rolling 3 + Time of rolling 5 = 10 + 8 + 8 = 26

The total number of rolling: 50

=> P(obtain odd number in experiment) = 26/50 = 0.52 = 52%

Hope this helps!

in 2010, the population of the state of california is 37.29 × 10⁶

step-by-step explanation:

population of los angeles = 3.79 × 10⁶

population of california = 9.84 × population of los angeles

                                        = 9.84 × 3.79 × 10⁶

                                        = 37.2936 × 10⁶

                                        = 37.29 × 10⁶

∴ in 2010, the population of the state of california is 37.29 × 10⁶
