Answer

The exprerimental probabilities are: Number 1 $\approx$ $15.67\%$ Number 2 $\approx$ $16.42\$%$ Number 3 $\approx$ $16.79\%$ Number 4 $\approx$ $16.42\%$ Number 5 $\approx$ $17.54\%$ Number 6 $\approx$ $17.16\%$

Work Step by Step

The total number of times the number cube was rolled is: $=42+44+45+44+47+46=268$ The experimental probability of an event can be computed using the formula $P(E)=\dfrac{\text{number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{total number of times the experiment was done}}$ Thusm the experimental probabilities in the given experiment are: $P(1)=\dfrac{42}{268}=\dfrac{21}{134}\approx15.67\%$ $P(2)=\dfrac{44}{268}=\dfrac{11}{67}\approx 16.42\%$ $P(3)=\dfrac{45}{268}\approx 16.79\%$ $P(4)=\dfrac{44}{268}=\dfrac{11}{67}\approx 16.42\%$ $P(5)=\dfrac{47}{268}\approx 17.54\%$ $P(6)=\dfrac{46}{268}=\dfrac{23}{134}\approx 17.16\%$
