Consider the dice rolling experiment. Use the relative frequency approach to assign the probability of the event, A = {sum of two dice = 5}. Simulate the tossing of two dice using the MATLAB code. The results of this dice tossing simulation must approximately follow the results shown in Table 1.

Hint:
n = 1000;
rolls = randi(6, n, 2)
sumOfRolls = sum(rolls, 2)

Looks like you figured it out since you Accepted the answer (thank you 🙂).
I guess you finally realized that it is the number of times the rolls sum to 5 in n tosses.
format short g
alln = 1000 : 1000 : 10000;
for k = 1 : length(alln)
n = alln(k);
rolls = randi(6, n, 2);
sumOfRolls = sum(rolls, 2);
% Count how many times the sums equal 5.
nA(k) = sum(sumOfRolls == 5);
% Compute fraction of 5's
fract(k) = nA(k) / n;
end
nA
fract
