Answer
View full question & answer→Total number of trials = 100
Number of times “1” comes up = 21
Number of times “2” comes up = 9
Number of times “3” comes up = 14
Number of times “4” comes up = 23
Number of times “5” comes up = 18
Number of times “6” comes up = 15
Number of times “1” comes up = 21
Number of times “2” comes up = 9
Number of times “3” comes up = 14
Number of times “4” comes up = 23
Number of times “5” comes up = 18
Number of times “6” comes up = 15
- Probability of getting 3 $=\frac{\text{Frequency of 3}}{\text{Total No. of trails}}=\frac{14}{100}=0.14$
- Probability of getting 5 $=\frac{\text{Frequency of 5}}{\text{Total No. of trails}}=\frac{18}{100}=0.18$
- Probability of getting 4 $=\frac{\text{Frequency of 4}}{\text{Total No. of trails}}=\frac{23}{100}=0.23$
- Frequency of getting an even no. = Frequency of 2 + Frequency of 4 + Frequency of 6 = 9 + 23 + 15 = 47
- Frequency of getting an odd no. = Frequency of 1 + Frequency of 3 + Frequency of 5 = 21 + 14 + 18 = 53
- Frequency of getting a no. less than 3 = Frequency of 1 + Frequency of 2 = 21 + 9 = 30
