Guess

Take 10 seconds to guess whether option A or B is more likely.

A B

What is the experiment?

Let event E be that the two dice come up___ and event F be ...

Classical or Theoretical Approach

Try your best to fill in the blanks. If you have time, give a reason for these probabilities[br]P(E) = ___[br]____ = 1/6

Check Empirically.

Even the best statisticians have made mistakes and caught them by looking at empirical data (real world observations).[br]Use this simulation graph to check your answers.[br]1. Click on the RESET button to begin. [br]2. If desired, use the SLIDERS to set the number of sides on each die.[br]3. Click on the ROLL button to simulate a roll.

Simulation using (pseudo) random number generation

Choose best answer

The above is not a (good) dot plot because...

There is no vertical axis labeling number of occurances. Some outcomes are double counted. None of the above. The dot plot is fine. The data is categorical not quantitative.
