Explain how you could use the random number table shown below to simulate rolling a fairsix-sided die. Assume you are interested in the probability of rolling a 2.

b.

Using the random number tablebelow, report the empirical probability of rolling a 2 on thesix-sided die from parta, and compare it with the theoretical probability of rolling a 2.

1, 8, 4, 6, 2, 0, 1, 8, 8, 6

2, 9, 6, 2, 6, 2, 4, 8, 1, 1

a. Which of the following is the best explanation on how to use the random number table to simulate rolling thedie?

A.

Use the numbers0, 1,2, 3,4, 5, and 6 to represent the outcomes and ignore7-9.

B.

Use the numbers1, 2,3, 4,5, 6,7, 8, and 9 to represent the outcomes and ignore 0.

C.

Use all the numbers in the random number table.

D.

Use the numbers1, 2,3, 4,5, and 6 to represent the outcomes and ignore 0 and7-9.

b. The empirical probability of rolling a 2 is

two fifths

25.

(Simplify youranswer.)

The theoretical probability of rolling a 2 is

one fourth

14.

(Simplify youranswer.)

Compare the empirical probability of rolling a 2 with the theoretical probability of rolling a 2.

A.

The theoretical probability of rolling a 2 is greater than the empirical probability of rolling a 2.

B.

The empirical probability of rolling a 2 is greaterthan the theoretical probability of rolling a 2.

C.

The empirical probability of rolling a 2 is equalto the theoretical probability of rolling a 2.
