.A fair number cube with faces numbered 1 through 6 was rolled 12 time

1.	.A fair number cube with faces numbered 1 through 6 was rolled 12 times. The cube landed with the number 2 face-up 6 times. What is the difference between the experimental probability and the theoretical probability of the number 2 landing face up?
Answer» ANSWER: The difference between them is 1/2. The theoretical PROBABILITY of GETTING a 2 is 1/6. The experimental probability in this CASE is 6/12 or 1/2. 1/2 - 1/6 = 3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

Answer»

The difference between them is 1/2.

The theoretical PROBABILITY of GETTING a 2 is 1/6.

The experimental probability in this CASE is 6/12 or 1/2.

1/2 - 1/6 = 3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3
