Question

wo 6-sided number cubes are rolled for a board game. The 2 numbers are then added together to determine how many spaces the player advances on the board. Select the method of display that would be best for showing all of the outcomes for each number cube and the sums that would result. Create the display, and justify the reasoning behind your choice.

Answer 1

The odds of rolling a 3 on a 6-sided number cube is 1 out of 6. The odds of rolling a 3 on either of two 6-sided cubes are 1/3. This is because 1/6 * 2 = 1/3. Therefore, an average of one-third of rolls will have a 3 in them. 1/3 expressed as a decimal is .3 repeating (.3333333 etc) and that rounds to 33 which is less than 34.
