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 yellow on your next toss of the die

Answer 1

Answer:

$P(Yellow) = \frac{29}{147}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Brown = 27\\Purple = 47\\Yellow = 29\\Green = 44$

Required

$P(Yellow)$ --- next roll to be yellow

This is calculated as:

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

So, we have:

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

$P(Yellow) = \frac{29}{147}$
