Assignment: Probability Observations
There is no link to this assignment because you can do it on any paper.
You have the data that you must reference in your answer to #1.
There are or "right" or "wrong" answers to these questions, but you will be assessed on the depth of your responses and how well you understand probability in these instances.
You may hand write or type your answers, just be sure to attach your data too!
#1) Discuss how probability was represented in the data you collected from the game in class today. You may compare your data with your partner's data or combine the data together. You might even try adding more dice rolls to increase your sample size. Whatever you do, be clear about what you did and what you see as the relationship between theory and the actual experimental data you have collected.
#2) Discuss any game involving two or more dice and how probability fits into game play.
How is the game set up to consider the probability of dice rolls? Is it? How might you determine your own strategy knowing the probability of the different rolls? Would it help a lot or a little? Are the rewards for getting a higher probability roll big or small? For example, if rolling double sixes (a 1:36 chance) would you get a bigger pay-off in the game than rolling a 7? Or is it worse to roll those kinds of numbers as in the Snake Eyes game we played in class today.
Etc. These are just some ways you might think about the game you are examining tonight. Come up with your own observations too!!
Game Suggestions: Settlers of Catan, Risk, Yahtzee, Monopoly, Bunco, Parcheesi, Greed or 10,000.
