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? 1 = 12, 2 = 15, 3 = 8, 4 = 2, 5 = 8, 6 = 5.
The theoretical probability is slightly higher than the experimental probability. (Theoretical = 16.7%, Experimental = 16%)
