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.

Properties of real numbers applied to subsets 2012-02-01
Mark pose la question :
Hello - The questions that I have for you is do the properties of real numbers (such as the associative, commutative, identity, inverse, and distributive law) apply to ALL the subsets of real numbers? In other words, do all those properties work for the Natural Numbers? The Whole Numbers? And so on and so forth. I understand that they are all real numbers, but for instance: the identity is whenever you add zero to a number, you get that number back. But does that work with, say, with only the odd numbers? Zero isn't odd so can that property actually apply to JUST the odd numbers? Any consideration would be greatly appreciated!

Growth rates 2010-01-26

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

I read in the text book that the growth rates of these 3 functions are as below- n2/3 < n/lg n < n0.99

I tried the substitution method to check the correctness of this. But it gets really tough as n increase.

Is there any simpler way to understand the correctness of these growth rates?

  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?

Different infinities 2004-05-27
Plober pose la question :
How can I explain to a friend (in a bar, using as a pen and a paper napkin) that the integer's infinity is 'smaller' than the irrationals's one? The demo I tried was that you couldn't match the integers with the real numbers between 0 and 1 (that 0.xxxxx replacing the Nth number from a different one... that demo), but she used my argument >:| saying that you can add one to the integer's infinite, and the number I was creating was only one more...

I can't think of any other way, and I KNOW the real's cardinality is greater than the integer's one

Some trig expressions 2004-05-23
A student pose la question :
Prove:

sin A + sin B = 2sin(A+B/2)cos(A-B/2)

cos A - cos B = -2sin(A+B/2)sin(A-B/2)

cos A + cos B = 2cos(A+B/2)cos(A-B/2)

sin A - sin B = 2cos(A+B/2)sin(A+B/2)
