Suppose a six-sided die is tossed 1200 times and a 6 comes up 479 times. (a) Find the empirical probability for a 6 to occur. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Probability = \frac{479}{1200}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total = 1200[/tex]

[tex]Occurrence = 479[/tex]

Required

Determine the empirical probability

Empirical probability is calculated as:

[tex]Probability = \frac{Number\ of\ times\ an\ event\ occur}{Number\ of\ total\ occurrence}[/tex]

In this case, it is:

[tex]Probability = \frac{Number\ of\ times\ 6\ occur}{Number\ of\ toss}[/tex]

Substitute values for the numerator and denominator

[tex]Probability = \frac{479}{1200}[/tex]
