A die rolled 200 times. The outcome obtained are shown in the table above.
What is the probability of obtaining a number less than 3 ?
Answer Details
To find the probability of obtaining a number less than 3, we need to add up the number of times the die rolled a 1 or a 2, since these are the numbers less than 3.
From the table, we see that the number of times the die rolled a 1 is 25 and the number of times it rolled a 2 is 30. So the total number of times the die rolled a number less than 3 is:
25 + 30 = 55
Therefore, the probability of obtaining a number less than 3 is:
55/200 = 0.275
So the answer is option C: 0.275.
