Comparing probabilities

Probability

True or false: I am more likely to flip a coin and get "Heads" than I am to roll a six-sided dice and get a 4.

True or false: I am more likely to flip a coin and get "Tails" than I am to roll a six-sided dice and get an even number.

True or false: I am more likely to roll a 3 than a 5 on a six sided dice

True or false: I am more likely to roll an even number than a prime number on an eight sided dice.

True or false: I am more likely to roll a 4 on a six sided dice than on an 8 sided dice.

Cala rolls a biased dice 40 times. It comes up with a three 14 times. Calculate the relative frequency of rolling a three.

Antoni throws a normal six-sided dice 120 times. How many times would you expect him to throw a 4?

Binh throws a biased dice 200 times. The theoretical probability of it landing on a 2 is 0.6. How many times would you expect her to throw a 2?

Xavier has a biased coin which has a 30% chance of landing on Heads. He flips the coin 300 times. How many times would you expect it to land on Tails?
