After 250 throws of a die, the empirical probability of an odd number is 0.48 and of getting a 1 is 0.16. The faces 3 and 5 occurred equally often. How many times did face 5 occur?

Question

Accepted Answer

40. Odd total = 0.48 x 250 = 120. Face 1 = 0.16 x 250 = 40. Faces 3 and 5 share 120 - 40 = 80 equally, so face 5 = 40.
