A die is thrown 300 times and the outcomes are noted as given below.
Outcome | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Frequency | 60 | 72 | 54 | 42 | 39 | 33 |
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
