In an experiment, a fair-looking die was rolled 300 times. The outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 came up 48, 52, 50, 49, 51 times respectively. How many times did the outcome 6 come up, and what is its empirical probability? Give the probability as a decimal.

Question

Accepted Answer

0.167. 6 came up = 300 - (48+52+50+49+51) = 300 - 250 = 50 times. P(6) = 50/300 = 0.1667, rounded to 0.167.
