THE DIE IS CAST

Team LL

DESCRIPTION

To play this game, all you do is roll two dice and add the

totals together. If the total is 2 or 12, you lose 35 dollars. If

the total is 3 or 11 you lose 15 dollars. If the total is 4 or

10 you lose 10 dollars. If the total is 5 or 9, you don’t lose

or gain any money. If the total is 6 or 8, you get 5 dollars. If

the total is 7, you gain 20 dollars. This game is attractive

to the player because 7 is the most likely outcome, and 2

and 12 are the least likely.

PREDICTED DATA

We predicted a mean of .555, meaning we would

make $0.56 on average off of each game played. The

predicted standard deviation was 1.727.

EXPERIMENTAL DATA

The mean from our experiment was -.8, meaning

we averaged losing $.80 per game played. The

standard deviation was 2.62

RESULTS

Our experimental results were much worse for us than the

predicted, because we averaged $1.35 less per game played. This

was due to the unusually high number of 7s rolled, which would

not happen over a larger sample size. The standard deviation was

also much larger, also due to the smaller sample size. Over a longer

period of time and more games played, the average would rise and

we would make money. The standard deviation would lower. We

don’t really think we could improve this because it is enticing to

the players but we will still make money in the long run.
