How many sides are there? How many sides have a 1? a 2? a 3? a 5?

• Draw five or more cards from the deck (up to 10 cards in all) and lay them out on a table.
• Construct a spinner which has an equal number of spaces as there are cards. Write the number for each card on one of the spaces in the spinner.
• Calculate the theoretical probability for each type of card, i.e., for each possible value. For example, calculate the theoretical probability of drawing or spinning a '2'.
• Construct an experiment to check the similarity of the experimental probabilities of the spinner and the cards.
    

• Play a game of rummy (2 or 3 players).

• Deal each player 6 cards from a well shuffled deck.

• Take turns drawing either from the discard pile or from the fresh deck, exchanging cards in your hand, until one player has the cards which represent the net for a 6-sided die which has:
  • round 1: a probability of rolling a 1 as 0.5
  • round 2: a probability of rolling a 2 as 0.5 and of rolling a 3 as 0.5
  • round 3: an equal probability of rolling a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
  • round 4: a probability of 0.333 for each of the even numbers 2 through 6.
  • round 5: the sum of the faces as 21.
  • round 6: a probability of rolling a 1 as 0.167, of rolling a 3 as 0.5 and of rolling a 5 as 0.333.
