1. **State the problem:** We are given a six-sided number cube rolled 18 times, and the number two appears 4 times. We want to find the experimental probability of rolling a two.
2. **Formula for experimental probability:**
$$\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of trials}}$$
3. **Apply the formula:**
Number of favorable outcomes (rolling a two) = 4
Total number of trials = 18
So,
$$\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{4}{18}$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{4}{18} = \frac{\cancel{2} \times 2}{\cancel{2} \times 9} = \frac{2}{9}$$
5. **Interpretation:** The experimental probability of rolling a two based on the 18 rolls is $\frac{2}{9}$.
6. **Compare with given probabilities:** The given fractions are $\frac{1}{9}$, $\frac{2}{9}$, $\frac{1}{3}$, and $\frac{4}{9}$. Our calculated experimental probability matches $\frac{2}{9}$.
**Final answer:** The experimental probability of rolling a two is $\frac{2}{9}$.
