Part 2: Weighted Dice
Suppose that I have some weighted dice with the following ‘probability distribution’:
Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6
Probability 1/8 1/8 1/8 2/8 2/8 2/8
1) Is this a discrete or continuous probability distribution? What is wrong with it?
2) Here is a fixed version. Verify that it is a valid probability distribution. To do this, check that the first two probability rules apply.
Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6
Probability 1/9 1/9 1/9 2/9 2/9 2/9
3) What is the probability of getting a sum of 9 when I roll two of these dice? You must show your work and explain your reasoning to receive full marks for this question. You might find the following sequence of steps helpful. If you have a different way to do this question that’s fine too as long as you clearly explain all of your steps.
a) Write out the sample space for rolling two dice.
b) Calculate the probability of each outcome. You should notice a pattern that means you don’t need to calculate each outcome’s probability individually (make sure you describe this pattern if you want to use it).
c) Find what each outcome of the two dice sums to.
d) Find all the outcomes that sum to 9 and add their probabilities.

Did I answer this correctly? I recorded the sum of the dice rolls. The Theoretical Probability goes all the way to 12. Find the experimental (as you experienced) probability of rolling each sum. Fill out the following table: Probability of occurrence for each sum out of our 72 total rolls (record your probabilities to um of the dice Number of times each sum occurred hree decimal places) 2 2 0.028 6 0.833 0.069 0.153 10 0.139 0.125 7 0.097 8...
Rolling Dice 2. A pair of dice is rolled. Here is the sample space (all of the possible outcomes) of rolling a pair of dice. First Die a) In how many different ways can we roll a 7 (as the sum of the two dice)? What is the probability of rolling a 7? 2 3 4 5 6 7 3 4 5 6 7 8 b) In how many ways can we roll a sum that is divisible by 3?...
Practice Problems 2 Due: Tuesday February 5 : Suppose you roll a weighted die so that the probabilities of each face showing is as follows Number Showing0.15 Probability 0.10 0.15 0.10 0.15 a. Solve for x b. What is the probability of rolling an even number? c. What is the probability of rolling two even numbers? Suppose you roll the dice two times. What is the probability that the sum of the two rolls is not equal to 8? d....
3) We roll 2 fair dice. a) Find the probabilities of getting each possible sum (i.e. find Pr(2), Pr(3), . Pr(12) ) b) Find the probability of getting a sum of 3 or 4 (i.e.find Pr(3 or 4)) c) Find the probability we roll doubles (both dice show the same value). d) Find the probability that we roll a sum of 8 or doubles (both dice show the same value). e) Is it more likely that we get a sum...
Please Explain 2. If rolling two 6-sided dice, find the probability of obtaining a sum of 7. 2. If rolling two 6-sided dice, find the probability of obtaining a sum of 7.
Problem 9 A single game of craps (a dice game) consists of at most two rolls of a pair of six sided dice. The ways to win are as follows: Win-the first roll of the pair of dice sums to either 7 or 1 (you win, game over, no second roll Win the first roll of the pair of dice does NOT sum to either 7 or 1 but the sum of the second roll is equal to the sum...
Problem 2. (30 points) a) (5 points) In rolling 3 fair dice, what is the probability of obtaining a sum not greater than 77 b) (5 points) In rolling 2 fair dice, what is the probability of a sum greater than 3 but not exceeding 6? o) (5 points) Given that the frstroll was an odd number what is the probability that sum exceeds 6? The notation for this is P(A I B)- Probability(sum exceeds 6 given that the first...
3. What is the probability of rolling a four in the gambling dice game of craps (given two six sided dice)? What is the probability that a player can roll a four 3 times in a row (assume that rolling the dice each time does not affect the outcome of the next roll)? 4. Population A and Population B both have a mean height of 60.0 inches with an SD of 5.0. A random sample of 40 people is picked...
9. In the casino dice game Craps, players make wagers on a sequence of rolls of a pair of dice. A sequence of rolls starts with the "shooter" making an initial roll of two dice called the "come-out” roll. If the sum of the dice on the initial roll is 7 or 11 then a player with a bet on the Pass Line wins. If the initial roll results in a sum of 2, 3, or 12 ("craps") then a...
#5. Suppose we roll three tetrahedral dice that have 1, 2, 3, and 4 on their four sides. Find the probability distribution for the sum of the three sides.
