Hi, Happy New Year to all, this is an exercise about probability with a different twist for me
I know that the basic formula for probability.
P= number of favorable outcomes/ total of outcomes.
while I can see that the number the total of possible outcomes is 21 I am having difficulty in understanding how to use the information given in the frequency row. I don't see any consistency between the outcome and the frequency so I am at a loss for a way to analize this
thanks for any hint
thanks
DIRECTIONS: Read the question and select the best response.
A number cube is rolled 50 times with the results shown in the table.
Results of Number Cube Rolling Experiment
Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6
Frequency 10 9 11 12 8 0
What is the experimental probability of rolling a 4?
choices
4/12 4 over 12
4/5 4 over 5
12/50 12 over 50
10/50 10 over 50
