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 an orange on your next toss of the die? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places.

Answer 1

Probability of an Orange on the next toss

= (23/60) = 0.3833

Explanation:

Orange: 46

Brown: 23

Green: 32

Yellow: 19

Probability of an Orange on the next toss

= n(orange colours obtained in the tosses) ÷ n(number of tosses)

n(orange colours in the tosses) = 46

Total number of tosses = 46 + 23 + 32 + 19

= 120.

Probability of an Orange on the next toss

= (46/120) = (23/60) = 0.3833

Hope this Helps!!!!
