Question

If a die is thrown 50 times and six appears 8 times, then the probability of getting a six is _______.

• A. 0.16
• B. $\frac{1}{8}$
• C. $\frac{8}{50}$
• D. $\frac{3}{8}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A

0.16

C

$\frac{8}{50}$

A six appears on a die 8 times out of 50 times.

Number of times six appears on the die = 8

Number of times the die is thrown = 50

Probability of getting a six $=\frac{\text{number of times six appears on the die}}{\text{total number of times the die is thrown}}$

Probability of getting a six $=\frac{8}{50}=0.16$
