Question

An eight-sided die, which may or may not be a fair die, has four colors on it; you have been tossing the die for an hour and have recorded the color rolled for each toss. What is the probability you will roll a brown on your next toss of the die? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places. brown purple green yellow 35 50 44 23

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of rolling a brown on the next toss is 0.2303.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data recorded is:

Brown = 35

Purple = 50

Green = 44

Yellow = 23

TOTAL = 152 tosses

The probability of an event E is computed by dividing the favorable number of outcomes by the total number of outcomes.

$P(E)=\frac{Favorable\ outcomes}{Total\ no.\ of\ outcomes}$

Using this formula compute the probability of rolling a brown on the next toss as follows:

$P(Brown)=\frac{35}{152}= 0.2303$

Thus, the probability of rolling a brown on the next toss is 0.2303.
