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

`P(Yellow) = (29)/(147)`

Explanation:

Given

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

Required

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

This is calculated as:

`P(Yellow) = (Yellow)/(Total)`

So, we have:

`P(Yellow) = (29)/(27 + 47 + 29 + 44)`

`P(Yellow) = (29)/(147)`
