If you roll a die 48 times and 8 of the rolls result in a "5," what empirical probability was observed for the event "5"? (Give your answer correct to three decimal places.)

from your experiment, the empirical prob of a 5 = 8/48 = 1/6

(btw, this matches the actual prob of rolling a 5 for a true die)

To calculate the empirical probability, divide the number of times the event occurred by the total number of trials. In this case, the number of times the event "5" occurred is 8, and the total number of trials is 48.

To find the empirical probability, divide 8 by 48:

Empirical probability = 8/48 = 0.167

Therefore, the empirical probability observed for the event "5" is 0.167 (correct to three decimal places).
