A die is rolled 300 times and following outcomes were recorded. outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6
frequency 62 45 63 32 47 51
find the probability of getting
1. more than 4
2. less than 3

1. 49/150

2. 107/300

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a probability question.

a. The first question asks us to find the probability of getting more than 4.

Now to do this, we look at our possible results when we roll the die, we can see that we can have 1-6.

But within this range, only two numbers are greater than 4, these are 5 and 6

Thus, to calculate the probability of getting either 5 or 6, we look at their frequencies, sum it up, then divide by the total number of times which the die was rolled.

The frequency of 5 is 47, while that of 6 is 51

The probability of getting more than 4 = Probability of getting 5 + Probability of getting 6 = (Frequency of 5 + Frequency of 6)/Total number of trials

= (47 + 51)/300 = 98/300 = 49/150

b. Probability of getting less than 3

Here, we proceed as we did in the first question. The numbers which are less than 3 are 1 and 2.

So the probability of getting less than 3 = Probability of getting 1 + Probability of getting 2 = (Frequency of 1 + Frequency of 2)/Total number of trials

Frequency of 1 = 62 while Frequency of 2 = 45

So, probability of getting less than 3 = (45 + 62)/300 = 107/300
