Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Outcome  Number of times outcome occurred

1                          10

2                          6

3                          4

4                          8

5                          6

6                          6

To find: What is the experimental probability of rolling a 1 or a 5?

Solution:

No. of times dice rolled =  10+6+4+8+6+6=40

No. of times 1 occured = 10

So, probability of getting 1 = [tex]\frac{10}{40}[/tex]

No. of times 5 occured = 6

So, probability of getting 5 = [tex]\frac{6}{40}[/tex]

So, probability of rolling a 1 or a 5 =  [tex]\frac{10}{40}+\frac{6}{40}[/tex]

                                                        =  [tex]\frac{16}{40}[/tex]

                                                        =  [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Hence the experimental probability of rollin 1 or a 5 is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex].
