Fair or Foul?

Sullivan bought a die at the magic shop. He
rolls it 155 times and gets the following results:


  • ONE: twenty-eight times

  • TWO: twenty times

  • THREE: fifteen times

  • FOUR: thirty-one times

  • FIVE: thirty-two times

  • SIX: twenty-nine times.
Is this die loaded?

What is the probability he will get a 6 on the next roll?
