A number cube with faces labeled 1 through 6 is rolled 200 times. About how many times would you expect to roll an even number?

The theoretical probability is smaller than the relative frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

6-sided cube rolled 200 times

Probability of an even number is 1/2= 0.5

200*1/2= 100- theoretical probability

Experimental frequency= 115

Relative frequency= 115/200= 0.575

0.575 > 0.5

The theoretical probability is smaller than the relative frequency

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
