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 yellow on your next toss of the die

Answer:

[tex]P(Yellow) = \frac{29}{147}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Brown = 27\\Purple = 47\\Yellow = 29\\Green = 44[/tex]

Required

[tex]P(Yellow)[/tex] --- next roll to be yellow

This is calculated as:

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

So, we have:

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

[tex]P(Yellow) = \frac{29}{147}[/tex]
