A biased dice is rolled.

a. Explain why the theoretical probability of getting a 6 is not likely to be 1/6. The numbers on a biased dice are not equally likely, therefore the probability of getting a 6 cannot be calculated using the formula for theoretical probability.

b. How can the probability of getting a 6 on a biased dice be calculated? This will have to be calculated by carrying out an experiment. The dice can be rolled 1000 times for example and the number of 6’s recorded. This will give an idea of how likely it is to roll a 6 in future.
