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

Answer 1

Answer:

$P(Brown) = 0.1837$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Brown = 27$

$Purple = 47$

$Blue = 29$

$Green = 44$

Required

$P(Brown)$ on the next roll

This is calculated as:

$P(Brown) = \frac{Brown}{Total}$

So, we have:

$P(Brown) = \frac{27}{27+47+29+44}$

$P(Brown) = \frac{27}{147}$

$P(Brown) = 0.1837$
