The algorithm below simulates rolling a regular 6-sided die twice. Consider the goal of determining if the sum of the values of

the two rolls is odd or even.
Step 1: Using a random number generator, get a value between
1 - 6 inclusively
Step 2: Remember that number
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2
Step 4: Add the two remembered numbers together
Step 5: Multiply that sum by 10
Step 6: Divide the result of that multiplication by 2


What conclusions can be made with regard to what we are trying to determine? Select two answers:

Group of answer choices

If the value found in step 6 is 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 then the sum is even

If the last digit of the value found in step 6 is 5, then the sum is odd

If the value found in step 6 is 10, 30 or 50 then the sum is odd

If the value found in step 6 is not 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 or 120 then the sum is odd

Algorithms are used to simulate real programs.

The true conditions of the algorithm are:

  • <em>(a) If the value found in step 6 is 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 then the sum is even </em>
  • <em>(b) If the last digit of the value found in step 6 is 5, then the sum is odd</em>

First, we analyze the algorithm.

Assume the outcomes of the two rolls are x and y

<u>Step 4: Calculate sum</u>

Sum = x + y

<u>Step 5: Multiply Sum by 10</u>

Result =  Sum \times 10

<u>Step 6: Divide by 2</u>

Result =  Sum \times 10 \div 2

Result =  Sum \times 5

This means that, the algorithm simply multiplies the sum of the rolls by 5

<u>Option (a): If step 6 is 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60, then sum is even</u>

Make Sum the subject in Result =  Sum \times 5

Sum = \frac{Result}{5}

When 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 are divided by 5, the result is:

Sum = 2, 4,6,8,10, 12

All the above numbers are even number.

This means that, the sum is an even number.

<em>Hence, (a) is true</em>

<u>Option (b): If the last digit of step 6 is 5, then the sum is Odd.</u>

The possible sum of two rolls of dice, where the last digit ends in 5 are:

5, 15, 25, 35

When each of these are divided by 5, the result is:

Sum = 1,3,5,7

It is not possible to have a sum of 1 for two rolls

So, we have:

Sum = 3,5,7

All the above numbers are odd.

This means that, the sum is an odd number.

<em>Hence, (b) is true</em>

So, we can conclude that the true conditions are:

(a) and (b)
