Question

A game die in a popular board game is 8-sided, numbered from 1-8. You conducted an experiment with the following outcome:

{4, 7, 8, 3, 2, 4, 1, 1, 7, 2, 3, 5, 7, 4, 5}.

Which of the following is the theoretical probability of rolling a 4?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

there is no "the following".

but similar to a 6-sided die, also for an 8-sided die the principle applies :

probability = number of desired outcomes / total number of possible outcomes.

so, with 8 possible outcomes (1 ..8) and one desired outcome (4), the theoretical probability to roll a 4 is 1/8.

even though in the expetiment we rolled 3 times a 4 in 15 attempts. which would suggest a 3/15 = 1/5 probability.
