The table above represents the outcome of throwing a die 100 times. What is the probability of obtaining at least a 4?

\frac{1}{5}

\frac{1}{2}

\frac{2}{5}

\frac{3}{4}

Answer Details

Let E demote the event of obtaining at least a 4
Then n(E) = 16 + 10 + 14 = 40
Hence, prob (E) = $\frac{n (E)}{n (S)}$
$= \frac{40}{100}$
$= \frac{2}{5}$
