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 brown on your next toss of the die

Answer:

[tex]P(Brown) = 0.1837[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Brown = 27[/tex]

[tex]Purple = 47[/tex]

[tex]Blue = 29[/tex]

[tex]Green = 44[/tex]

Required

[tex]P(Brown)[/tex] on the next roll

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(Brown) = \frac{Brown}{Total}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(Brown) = \frac{27}{27+47+29+44}[/tex]

[tex]P(Brown) = \frac{27}{147}[/tex]

[tex]P(Brown) = 0.1837[/tex]
