Theoretical Versus Empirical Probability

                     Lesson 1

                                                                                                                       

                                                             Problem:  Two friends are playing that includes dice.

                                                                                They rolled the dice then what is the probability the number appears

                                                                                 On the dice is the multiple of the 2                 

                                                             

                                                            Solution     On  rolling the dice there are 6 possible outcomes that are [1,2,3,4,5,6]                 

                                                            Step 1:                      

 

                                                            Solution      Multiple of 2 are [2, 4, 6] so there are 3 outcomes                        

                                                            Step 2:                                                                             

                                                                                 

                                                             Solution    so the probability of coming multiple of two is 3/6 = 1/2                       

                                                             Step 3:    

                                                                                                  

 Solution    Answer is: 1/2                

 Step 4:                                                                      

 Complete                                                                   

                                                                                                                               

                                                             Try two practice problems:

                                                                 

A.

You roll a SIX sided die. What is the probability that the value of roll be Two AND FOUR?

 

B.

What is the probability of the occurrence of digit four when an six-sided die is thrown?
