A die is thrown 300 times and the outcomes are noted as given below.


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
