Question 1161318: please help with this also;
Suppose a die is loaded so that a "1" face lands uppermost thrice as often as any other face while all the other faces occur equally often. What is the probability of a "1" on a single toss? Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
In this problem, the sample space consists of 6 elements.
Element "1" has the probability 3x, while each of the 5 other elements have the probability x.
3x + 5x = 1 ====> 8x = 1 ----> x = ----> 3x = .
Thus the probability to have 1" on a single toss is . ANSWER
