Question

Joe and Maggie take turns mowing the lawn each week.  Maggie suggests they try a new system for determining who should mow the lawn.  Each week, they will roll two dice and determine the sum of the values.  Since the highest possible sum is 12, Maggie will mow the lawn if the sum is 6 or less, and Joe will mow the lawn if the sum is greater than 6.

Before agreeing to Maggie's suggestion, Joe wants to check if this plan would be fair.  He decides to roll a pair of dice and determine the sum of the values 100 times.  The graph shows the results of the 100 trials.

Based on his simulation, should Joe agree to Maggie’s plan?

 
(yes/no), because a sum greater than 6 is likely to occur (more than, less then, equal to)(30%, 50%, 75%) of the time
