Answer 1

The probability of rolling a yellow on the next toss of the eight-sided die is 17/132 or approximately 0.1288.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of rolling a yellow on the next toss of the eight-sided die, we need to examine the recorded colors from the previous tosses. From the given data, we can see that out of the 132 tosses (30 pink + 17 yellow + 41 brown + 44 green), 17 tosses resulted in a yellow. Therefore, the probability of rolling a yellow on the next toss is 17/132 or approximately 0.1288 (rounded to four decimal places).
