Respuesta :

For number 1 (option A), the theoretical probability equal the experimental probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

          Ms.McClain conducted an experiment with a 6- sided number cube

Step:1

          For theoretical probability,

                   [tex]P(number) _{T} = \frac{Number of favorable outcomes}{Total number of outcomes}[/tex] × [tex]No.of times[/tex]

          For Number 1,

                             [tex]P(1) _{T} = \frac{1}{6} (48)[/tex]

                                      = (0.1667)(48)

                             [tex]P(1)_{T}[/tex]  = 8

          For Number 2,

                             [tex]P(2) _{T} = \frac{1}{6} (48)[/tex]

                                      = (0.1667)(48)

                             [tex]P(2)_{T}[/tex]  = 8

          For Number 3,

                             [tex]P(3)_{T} = \frac{1}{6} (48)[/tex]

                                      = (0.1667)(48)

                             [tex]P(3)_{T}[/tex]  = 8

          For Number 4,

                             [tex]P(4)_{T} = \frac{1}{6} (48)[/tex]

                                      = (0.1667)(48)

                             [tex]P(4)_{T}[/tex]  = 8

         For Number 5,

                             [tex]P(5) _{T} = \frac{1}{6} (48)[/tex]

                                      = (0.1667)(48)

                             [tex]P(5)_{T}[/tex]  = 8

        For Number 6,

                             [tex]P(6) _{T} = \frac{1}{6} (48)[/tex]

                                      = (0.1667)(48)

                             [tex]P(6)_{T}[/tex]  = 8

Step:2

       Experimental probability from table,

                           [tex]P(1) _{E} =8[/tex]

                           [tex]P(2) _{E} =10[/tex]  

                           [tex]P(3) _{E} =7[/tex]

                           [tex]P(4) _{E} =6[/tex]

                           [tex]P(5) _{E} =9[/tex]

                           [tex]P(6) _{E} =8[/tex]

Step:3

         In compare with theoretical probability and experimental probability the number 1 and 6 are equal.

        From the given options the number 1 is selected.

Result:

          For number 1 (option A), the theoretical probability equal the experimental probability.
