Roll two dice and record the difference |
2019-12-09 |
|
Barbara pose la question : Suppose you roll two dice 100 times. Each time you record their difference
(always subtracting the smaller one from the bigger one to get a positive
difference). The possible values you get are 0,1,2,3,4 and 5. You record
the frequency of each value in the following table:
Difference of two dice 0 1 2 3 4 5
Observed frequency 12 31 26 13 10 8
Let your null hypothesis be that the dice are fair, and the alternative
hypothesis be that they are not fair. Using a confidence level of α = 0.10,
test the null hypothesis by a goodness-of-fit test.
Hint: begin by
completing table:
x 0 1 2 3 4 5

A dice game |
2019-03-17 |
|
Remo pose la question : So, little game my kid came up with.
Dice are standard d6.
I roll a die, he rolls a die. If he gets the same number as me OR a bigger number he wins.
So far so good. Used the opportunity to get him to calculate the probabilities of him winning, see if I could get him interested into looking at this game from a more academic perspective. He did fine.
Then we upped the ante.
He rolls one die, I roll two dice. I his die has a number that is equal or greater than both of mine, he wins.
We had a bit of trouble solving that one, and had to resort to a table with all the results ( 6x36) to figure out where we stood.
Then again we upped.
He rolls two dice, I roll two dice.
If any one of his dice has a number equal to or greater than both of mine he wins. I only win if one of my dice is greater than both of his.
And we got stuck. Figured I would need to find a formula to resolve this one, as our earlier solution ( table everything ) suddenly is 36x36, giving well over a thousand possible results. And if we ever go bigger than that then we *really* are going to need another way to calculate it. Harley Weston lui répond. |

Tanisha pose la question : I would just like to double check if something like 5x squared times 4x cubed equals 20x to the power of 5??
It's just that we were told you can only answer an equation like this if the base is the same...so does that mean the x part or the whole thing like 5x?
I'm sorry if that didn't make sense!
Thank you for your help!! Penny Nom lui répond. |

Larry pose la question : Hi. I'm having trouble solving this problem. Would you be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
A die is loaded so that the probability of a particular face rolling up is proportional to the number of dots
on the face. In other words, getting a six is three times as probable as getting a two. what is the probability
of getting an even number in one toss? Victoria West lui répond. |

Rolling a die repeatedly (you can't just add percentages) |

Howard pose la question : If my son has a 16.66% chance of rolling a particular number on a dice,
and he rolls for it 6 times, he knows (from experience) that his
odds of getting at least 1 right are not 100% (16.66% +16.66%+16.66% etc).
He asked me if there was an equation that would give him the correct
percentage chance of success when trying X times for a Y% chance
of something. Victoria West lui répond. |

A probability question which resulted from a game of Yahtzee |
2005-12-31 |
|
Robert pose la question : Could someone please assist me with this probability question which resulted from a game of Yahtzee we were playing in Melbourne, Australia on our holidays.
The object on this turn was to throw a “large straight” which is 5 numbers in sequence from 5 dice numbered 1 – 6. A player initially throws all 5 dice and then selects those dice they want to throw again for a further two more times. In this instance the player on their first throw, threw a 1,2,3,4 and 6.
Question:- What is the respective probabilities of gaining a straight if they were to –
a) put back say the 6 and try and throw a 5 on the two further throws or…..
b) put back the 1 and 6 and try and throw a 1 and 5 or 5 and 6 on the two further throws bearing in mind that if one of the numbers was a 5 on the second throw they could hold that number and try for a 1 or 6 on the third throw.
I would be most appreciative if someone could assist in showing me how to calculate the probabilities particularly in the second instance (b). Penny Nom lui répond. |

Four 25-sided dice |
2005-11-24 |
|
dan pose la question : Simply put, I am curious to find the likelyhood of each possibility (4-100) if I were to roll 4 25-sided die. It seems to start off simply, as 1, 4, 10, 20...following the inside diagonal of Pascal's triangle. But as soon as i reach the point where the sum is greater than the number of sides, Pascal's no longer seems to work. I would be greatly appreciated if I could be informed of the proper formula to find this answer, or perhaps if my theory of doing it is wrong. Andrei Volodin and Shaun Fallat lui répond. |

Three dice |
2001-01-03 |

John Read pose la question : I have three dice (A, B, C.) Three sides of each dice are blank. Three sides of each dice have a number. When the dice are thrown, it must be possible to result in the numbers 1 to 49 in any combinations without doubling up on any figure. i.e. Different combinations resulting in the same end number. I managed to get from 1 to 47 before getting stuck. Claude Tardif lui répond. |
