Darryl has a six-sided die with faces 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6. He knows the die is weighted so that one face
comes up with probability 1/2 and the other five faces have equal probability of coming up. He
unfortunately does not know which side is weighted, but he knows each face is equally likely
to be the weighted one.
He rolls the die 5 times and gets a 1; 2; 3; 4 and 5 in some unspecified order. Compute the probability that his next roll is a 6.

That's right Abhishek!
ReplyDeleteThe important point is to realize that each roll of the die is independent.
