Question

1. In a board game, you must roll two 6-sided number cubes. You can only start the game if you roll a 3 on at least one of the number cubes.
(a) Make a list of all the different possible outcomes when two number cubes are rolled.

(b) What fraction of the possible outcomes is favorable?

(c) Suppose you rolled the two number cubes 100 times, would you expect at least one 3 more or less than 34 times? Explain. Answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

You should not expect more than 34 times to be favorable, because favorable outcomes are about 28% of outcomes, and 28% of 100 is 28, which is less than 34.

6/21 outcomes will be favorable.

Here is a list of all possible :

1 - 1

1 - 2

1 - 3

1 - 4

1 - 5

1 - 6

2 - 2

2 - 3

2 - 4

2 - 5

2 - 6

3 - 3

3 - 4

3 - 5

3 - 6

4 - 4

4 - 5

4 - 6

5 - 5

5 - 6outcomes29 out of every 100 outcomes will likely

6 - 6

One or two of the underlined outcomes have a three. The total number of outcomes is 21, and six of them include 3's. Therefore, when we multiply 6/21 by .286, we get 28.6%.  be favorable.

Hope this helps! : )
