Question

Consider a six-sided die that is loaded so that numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are all equally likely to appear, and 1 is three times as likely to appear as 2. (a) what is the probability of rolling a 2? (b) what is the probability of rolling a 1? (c) what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

Answer 1

Possible outcome = 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

(a) P(2) = 1/8

(b) P(1) = 3/8

(c) p(odd) = 5/8
