A die is thrown 50 times and the outcomes are recorded as under.
Outcome | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
No of times | 11 | 9 | 8 | 5 | 7 | 10 |
If a die is thrown at random, what is the probability of getting 8?
Total number times a die is thrown: 50
We know that a die contains only 6 sides (1,2,3,4,5,6) and there is no 8 on any side of the die
Therefore, probability of getting 8 when a die is thrown is : 0
That is P(8) = 0
