HELP PLEASE ME!!!!

Question

Sean recorded everyone’s number-cube rolls during the game.

1, 6, 2, 1, 5, 4, 2, 2, 1, 4, 5, 1, 3, 4, 1

He stated that the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is greater than rolling any other number. Explain Sean’s error.

Answer 1

Hi Skull!

Sean's error is that he just looked the number of times 1 occurred. The theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is found by dividing the number of desired outcomes by the total number of outcomes.

The correct probability of rolling a one is 1/6.

Hope this helps!
