A six-sided die is thrown 50 times. Using the list below, how does the theoretical probability of rolling a 3 compare to the experimental probability of rolling a 3? Number on Die How Many Times it Landed on that Number 1 = 8, 2 = 6, 3 = 7, 4 = 12, 5 = 10, 6 = 7
The theoretical probability is higher than the experimental probability. (Theoretical = 17%, Experimental = 14%)
