Two students record the same coin-and-die game (one coin + one die together). Out of 800 plays: 'tail with a 6' occurred 64 times and 'head with a 6' occurred 70 times. What is the empirical probability of getting a 6 on the die (with either coin face)?

Question

Accepted Answer

0.1675. A 6 on the die = (tail,6) or (head,6) = 64 + 70 = 134 plays. P = 134/800 = 0.1675.
