Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Find the experimental probability:Andrew rolled a die 5 times and these are the results:1, 3, 3, 4, 4P(1) =
A
3/5
B
1/6
C
2/5
D
1/5
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Experimental probability is determined by the actual results of an experiment. If a fair die is rolled 6 times and 3 is rolled 2 out of the 6 times, the experimental probability of landing on the number 3 is 2/6 or 1/3. Experimental probability is subject to change because the results of an experiment may change.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, the probability of getting 3 or 5 is 1/3.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, the probability that in five tosses of a fair die a 3 appears is (1−4/6)=3/6.
