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
f(x)

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.

A 13 game bet 2016-02-28
farah pose la question :
I'm trying to calculate the odds of a 13 game bet. Each game has 2 teams with 3 possible outcomes (win,draw,lose).

What are the odds.

Probability, counting and cards 2010-01-15
Julie pose la question :
Hello,
  1. Select a card from the deck(card deck of 52 cards). Place the card back in the deck. What is the probability that both cards will be black? Is it 25/104, 24%?

  2. Select a card from the deck. Do not replace the card. Select another card. What is the probability that a red and a face card are the two cards you selected? Is it 2/221, .9%?

  3. Remove the red cards from the deck and assume that the remaining cards have been shuffled: select a card from the remaining deck. Place the card back in the deck. Select another card. What is the probability that both cards will be black? Is it 26/26 x 26/26= 1 x 1 = 1 , 100%?
    Select a card from the remaining deck. Do not replace the card. Select another card. What is the probability that a red 3 and a face card are the 2 cards you selected? Is it 0/26 x 6/26 = 0, 0%?

  4. Seperate 12 face cards from the rest of the deck. Assume that the face cards have been shsuffled. Select 3 cards from the pile of face cards. How many different arrangements can be made by selecting 1 of each card (jack, king, queen) from the pile? is it 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/64?

  5. How many different ways are there of selecting the queen of clubs, then the king of diamonds, and then the jack of hearts from the pile? Is it 1/12 x 1/12 x 1/12 = 1/1728?

Blood type probabilities 2007-12-01
Noelle pose la question :
Question from Noelle, a student:

Blood Type % Population
O+               37.4%
O-                 6.6%
A+               35.8%
A-                 6.3%
B+                8.5%
B-                 1.5%
AB+              3.4%
AB-                 .6%

I need to make another table showing the probablility of meeting someone in each of the eight blood groups. I'm not sure how to find the probability with percentages. Thanks for your help.

Greg pose la question :
Suppose that 30% of all small businesses are undercapitalized. 40% of all undercapitalized small businesses fail and 20% of all small businesses that are not undercapitalized fail. A small business is chosen at random. The probability that the small business succeeds if it is undercapitalized is? Greg

A binomial probability 2003-04-30
Erica pose la question :
In a biathlon, athletes shot at 20 targets. A particular athlete had a probability of 0.18 of missing a target. Assuming a binomial distribution, what is the probability, to the nearest thousandth, that the athlete hit exactly 16 targets?

Binomial probabilities 2001-10-08
Amna pose la question :
I had a few binomial probability questions which I can not use from the tables as instructed:
  1. If 60 % of television viewers are watching a certain program, what is the probability tha tmore than half of those selected in a random sample of five will be watching the specified program?

  2. If it is known according to Mendel's Law, that we can expect in teh long run to have 3 white, 1 brown rabbits in every 4 rabbits of a certain type, what is the probability that 2 in a litter of 3 will be white?

  3. On the average, 2% of the items sold in a department store are returned for refunds. what is the probability that of its next five items sold, at most two will be returned for refunds?

Carmen pose la question :
Hi! My name is Carmen! I am a member of a grade 5 class in Edmonton, AB. We were talking about probability in math, and I was wanted to know what the probability (odds) of rolling two sixes would be rolling two dice? If it is not to diffucult could you tell me what the probability (odds) of rolling any number with two dice were?

James pose la question :
A rare disease infected 1 in 1000 people in the population. A test for the disease is accurate 99% of the time when given to an infected person and also when given to a heathy person.
  1. Fill out a two-tier tree diagram and find the probability of the false positive(i.e the conditional probabily of being healty even when tested postive by the test) Comment on the result?
