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

`P(Brown) = 0.1837`

Explanation:

Given

`Brown = 27`

`Purple = 47`

`Blue = 29`

`Green = 44`

Required

`P(Brown)` on the next roll

This is calculated as:

`P(Brown) = (Brown)/(Total)`

So, we have:

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

`P(Brown) = (27)/(147)`

`P(Brown) = 0.1837`
