Question:
In Problem several experiments are simulated using the random number feature on a graphing calculator. For example, the roll of a fair die can be simulated by selecting a random integer from 1 to 6, and 50 rolls of a fair die by selecting 50 random integers from 1 to 6. (see Fig. A for Problem and your user’s manual).
From the statistical plot of the outcomes of rolling a fair die 50 times (see Fig. B), we see, for example, that the number 4 was rolled exactly 5 times.
(A) What is the empirical probability that the number 6 was rolled?
(B) What is the probability that a 6 is rolled under the equally likely assumption?
(C) Use a graphing calculator to simulate 100 rolls of a fair die and determine the empirical probabilities of the six outcomes.
