Find the experimental probability:Roll dice:1, 3, 3, 4, 4Rolling a 1?
A
3/5
B
1/6
C
2/5
D
1/5
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, if a dice is rolled 6000 times and the number ‘5’ occurs 990 times, then the experimental probability that ‘5’ shows up on the dice is 990/6000 = 0.165. For example, the theoretical probability that the number ‘5’ shows up on a dice when rolled is 1/6 = 0.167.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mathematically, the formula for the experimental probability is defined by; Probability of an Event P(E) = Number of times an event occurs / Total number of trials.

Detailed explanation-3: -The experimental probability of rolling a 4 is 0.24, or 24%.
