Assignment: Taking Chances on the River
*Please read the instructions on this worksheet and take your time! *Finish the table with the 36 possible rolls for two dice (we went over these in class today). Rolls should be written as (1, 3) and also (3, 1) for example.
*Have a method to your madness ... it will be easier to answer the questions if you can find the possibilities easily. Your table must be complete for full credit.
*USE THE TABLE you create to answer these questions. Some of them are NOT intuitive!
*Answers should be written as probabilities (part to whole) or the probability that something will happen out of the 36 tries.
*P stands for "probability of" something happening. For example, if the question is P(3,3) it is asking you how many times you theoretically will roll 3 and 3 in 36 rolls. The answer would be 1:36 or 1/36: there is only one place in your table where 3,3 is listed.
*"difference of" means that the difference between the two dice is the given number, for another example. Read the questions out loud to yourself and you will know what the question is asking.
*You do not need to simplify your answers, although it is certainly good practice!
*There no copies of this worksheet available online today.
