Homework: Taking Chances
Due: Thursday, February 26
We have been playing around with probability again, from dice rolls to colored blocks.
This assignment takes them through all of the possible dice rolls for two dice. We went over how to do this in class, but to be clear:
*The chart must be filled in for credit. There is no particular order, but I recommend having a pattern! For example, you might write 1, 1 as your first roll, then 1, 2 as your second. Then maybe you list all of the options with 1 as your first die or maybe you list all of the rolls that add up to 3 next. Just have a plan and make a pattern to keep track of what has been used.
*Rolls should be written as die 1, die 2.
*For example: 2, 3 and 3, 2 are different rolls.
*In the bottom section, probability is written part/whole: the number of times the given number can be rolled: the total number of rolls. Simplifying is ideal!
How can you help?
Go over the above guidelines for the paper, help them to organize the chart, but please do not count the number of times the given challenge happens for them. If the chart is organized and they are methodical, it should be easy to accomplish!
And if you have any advice on stocks, they will be purchasing shares of two different stocks for tomorrow's homework!
