What would be the theoretical probability of rolling a die 50 times and rolling a 2?
The probability of rolling at least one 2 in fifty rolls of a standard die is 1 - (5/6) 50, or about 0.99989012.
This calculation starts by looking at the probability of not rolling a 2, which is 5/6. To repeat that 50 times in a row, you simply raise that to the 50th power, getting 0.000109885. Then you subtract the result from 1 to get the probability of not succeeding in not rolling a 2 in fifty tries.
Expressed in normal "odds" notation, this is about (100000 - 11) in 100000, or about 99989 in 100000.
What else can I help you with?
If you roll a fair die what is the theoretical probability of getting a 5?
Since there are 6 numbers on a die (1-6), then the probability of rolling a 5 would be 1 out of 6.
What is the difference between experimental and theoretical probability?
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.
How many times would a coin have to show heads in 50 tosses to show an experimental probability of 20 percent more than the theoretical probability of getting heads?
Theoretical probability = 0.5 Experimental probability = 20% more = 0.6 In 50 tosses, that would imply 30 heads.
How do you find experimetal probability?
Experimental probability is calculated by taking the data produced from a performed experiment and calculating probability from that data. An example would be flipping a coin. The theoretical probability of landing on heads is 50%, .5 or 1/2, as is the theoretical probability of landing on tails. If during an experiment, however, a coin is flipped 100 times and lands on heads 60 times and tails 40 times, the experimental probability for this experiment for landing on heads is 60%, .6 or 6/10. The experimental probability of landing on tails would be 40%, .4, or 6/10.
What is the probability of rolling a 3 or a 4?
2/6 or 1/3 or 0.3333.
What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 5 on a number cube if it is rolled 300 times?
The theoretical probability of rolling a 5 on a standard six sided die is one in six. It does not matter how many times you roll it, however, if you roll it 300 times, the theoretical probability is that you would roll a 5 fifty times.
What is theoretical probability of rolling a 2?
on a dice it would be 1/6, 0.166666666 (so on, unless rounded), and 16.667% (when rounded)

How do you get if you roll a die 100 times how many times would you expect to get 1?
If you roll a die 100 times, you would expect to get a 1 about 17 times, because the probability of getting a 1 is 1 in 6, or 0.1667. However, that is theoretical probability; experimental probability - the actual results of doing this 100 times - might not be 17, but if you did this a large number of times, the experimental results would indeed begin to approach the theoretical results.
In which cases would you expect the experimental probability to be closest to the theoretical probability?
d
What is the empirical probability of tossing a coin 5 times and obtaining at least 3 consecutive heads?
The empirical probability can only be determined by carrying out the experiment a very large number of times. Otherwise it would be the theoretical probability.
What occupations would use theoretical probability?
statiticians
Experimental probability of rolling the sum of 2?
That means that you should roll a die many times, count how often you get the number "2", then divide this by the total number of rolls. If the die is "fair" (no extra weight on one side), you would expect this experimental probability to be somewhere close to the theoretical probability of 1/6, at least, if you roll often enough.
What is the theoretical probability of rolling a number that is a multiple of 2 and a 6 sided die?
ans2. The probability of an even number resulting; from a large number of throws; would be 1/2. For 1/2 of the numbers 1 - 6 are even.
