A set of cards contains cards numbered 1 – 8. Mrs. Jacob’s class is conducting an experiment in which a card is drawn from the pile, the number is recorded, and then the card is returned to the set. The class will conduct 1,000 trials. Based on the theoretical probability, which is the best prediction for the number of times a 4 will be drawn from the pile?

Nathan rolls a number cube and records the result of each roll in the table.Number CubeNumber RolledFrequency111216314420512617Which statements below represent the situation? Select three options.

Josh used a standard deck of 52 cards to conduct an experiment. Half of the cards in the deck were red. The other half were black. Josh predicted that he would choose a red card in 4 out of 8 trials. When he conducted the experiment, he actually chose a red card 6 out of 8 times. Which explains the most likely reason for the discrepancy between Josh’s predicted and actual results?

Alberto conducted an experiment by rolling a fair six-sided number cube 60 times. He rolled a 2 fifteen times. Which statement about rolling a 2 in Alberto’s experiment is correct?

Jonas is conducting an experiment using a 10-sided die. He determines that the theoretical probability of rolling a 3 is . He rolls the die 20 times. Four of those rolls result in a 3. Which adjustment can Jonas make to his experiment so the theoretical and experimental probabilities are likely to be closer?
