When a die is thrown at random, what is the probability of getting a


(i) 3? (ii) 6? (iii) 5? (iv)1?

Total number times a Die Rolled: 300


Number of times 3 occurred on die: 54


Number of times 6 occurred on die: 33


Number of times 5 occurred on die: 39


Number of times 1 occurred in die: 60


Probability =


(i). Let p(3) be probability of getting 3 on die


P (3) =


P (3) = = 0.18


(ii). Let p(6) be probability of getting 6 on die


P (6) =


P (6) = = 0.11


(iii). Let p(5) be probability of getting 5 on die


P (5) =


P (5) = = 0.13


(iv). Let p(1) be probability of getting 1 on die


P (1) =


P (1) = = 0.2
