Answer 1

To calculate the probability of rolling a pink on the next toss of the die, we need to look at the number of times pink has been rolled so far.

In the data provided, pink has been rolled 32 times out of a total of 133 tosses.

Therefore, the probability of rolling a pink on the next toss of the die is:

32/133 ≈ 0.2406

So, the probability of rolling a pink on the next toss of the die is approximately 0.2406.
