A person rolled a dice 6000 times and the number '5' occurs 990 times. On the basis of this outcome, she claims that the probability that '5' shows up on the dice is 990/6000. Is this an example of an empirical probability or a theoretical probability

    Empirical probability

    Step-by-step explanation:

    An empirical probability also known as experimental probability is the ratio of the number of outcomes in a trial/experiment of a specific event to the total number of trials.

    Theoretical probability is probability based on reasoning not experiment.

    Since an experiment was carried out 6000 times to determine the number of times 5 shows up, its an empirical probability.
