Decide if the following probability is classical, empirical, or subjective. You believe you have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 6 on a six-sided die.

Answer

The correct answer is Classical Probability. Classical probability is used when each outcome in a sample space has an equal chance of occurring. It is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, a standard six-sided die has six equally likely outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Since there is only one '6' on the die, the probability of rolling a 6 is 1 outcome divided by 6 total outcomes, or 1/6. This determination is based on the mathematical structure of the die itself rather than personal opinion (subjective) or data from an experiment (empirical).
