Theoretical probability of 1 refers to an event that is certain to happen. It has a probability of 1 because it is guaranteed to occur.
Theoretical probability is the number of ways something can occur divided by the total number of outcomes. So, the theoretical probability of throwing a coin and it landing on heads is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%.
To me, the theoretical probability is what is termed the classical probability. This says the probability is the number of ways an event can occur divided by the number of possible events. Forexample, flip a coin. The theoretical probability for heads is 1/2. However, flip a coin 10 times and you will probably not get 5/10 (or 1/2). Doing the actual experiment to determine the probability is called relative frequency approximation.
Prob of heads = 1/2 Prob of 3 = 1/6 Prob of both = 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12

A number cube has six faces, so the probability of any one of them showing on a fair throw is 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.
The factors of 10 are the numbers that divide 10 evenly: 1, 2, 5 and 10. To answer your question, you have to figure out what the probability of rolling one of these numbers is on a number cube.

That's one face out of six. So the probability is 1/6
1/3
The difference between experimental probability and theoretical probability is that experimental probability is the probability determined in practice. Theoretical probability is the probability that should happen. For example, the theoretical probability of getting any single number on a number cube is one sixth. But maybe you roll it twice and get a four both times. That would be an example of experimental probability.
Roll a fair cubic die. The theoretical probability of it ending up with any particular face on top is 1/6

If this is a homework assignment, please consider trying to answer it yourself first, otherwise the value of the reinforcement of the lesson offered by the assignment will be lost on you.If a number cube (die) contains the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the cube is fair, then the probability of rolling a 6 is 1 in 6. If you roll the cube 10 times, you would expect to get 6's 10 / 6, or about 2 times. However, 10 trials is not a lot of trials, so the experimental outcome might not match the theoretical probability. In this case, the experimental probability matched the theoretical probability, but that is simply chance. If you repeat the experiment, so you will probably not get the same results.
