The complete question is;

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

orange brown green yellow

46 23 32 19

Answer:

probability of rolling green on the next toss of the die = 4/15

Explanation:

We are given how many times each of the colours appeared for each toss and they are;

Orange - 46

Brown - 23

Green - 32

Yellow - 19

Thus,

Total number of tosses = 46 + 23 + 32 + 19 = 120 rolls

Thus, probability of rolling green on the next toss of die will be = number of times green appeared/total number of rolls = 32/120 = 4/15
