Homework for Tuesday, March 11

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.  You do have the option of creating a table using the bar graph format (that I put on the board in class) but it must be completely filled out in order to count as your table.  You can do this on the back of your worksheet or on another sheet of paper, but be sure to actually turn it in!
*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.
*Answers must be simplified for full credit, otherwise you will receive 1/2 credit.
*There no copies of this worksheet available online today.
