Transcript text: Jasmine rolls a number cube 72 times. The number 2 is rolled 13 times and the number 3 is rolled nine times.
To the nearest whole percent, what is the experimental probability of rolling a 2 or 3 ?
$7 \%$
$18 \%$
$22 \%$
$31 \%$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the total number of successful outcomes
The number of times 2 is rolled is 13, and the number of times 3 is rolled is 9. Add these together to find the total number of successful outcomes:
\[
13 + 9 = 22
\]
Step 2: Determine the total number of trials
The total number of trials (rolls) is given as 72.
Step 3: Calculate the experimental probability
Divide the total number of successful outcomes by the total number of trials, then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
\[
\text{Experimental Probability} = \left( \frac{22}{72} \right) \times 100 \approx 30.56\%
\]
Step 4: Round to the nearest whole percent
Round 30.56% to the nearest whole percent:
\[
30.56\% \approx 31\%
\]
