Experimental Probability

Question 17 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S1 [E4250OX]

The experimental probability of getting a 3 on a number cube is 5/36. Which of the following is true about the event’s experimental probability?

Answer
A
The number 5 was rolled 36 times.
B
The number 3 was rolled 5 times in 36 trials.
C
The number cube was rolled 41 times.
D
After 5 trials, the number 3 was rolled 36 times.

Explanation

Experimental probability is the number of times an outcome occurs divided by the total number of trials. A probability of 5/36 means the number 3 occurred 5 times in 36 trials, so choice B is true. The fraction does not mean that 5 was rolled, or that the cube was rolled 41 times.
