Chapter 1.2, Problem 15P
Computer Simulation: Roll of a Die A die is a cube with dots on each face. The faces have 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 dots. The table below is a computer simulation (from the software package Minitab) of the results of rolling a fair die 20 times.
DATA DISPLAY
| ROW | C1 | C2 | C3 | C4 | C5 | C6 | C7 | C8 | C9 | C10 |
| 1 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 4 |
| 2 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 4 |
(a) Assume that each number in the table corresponds to the number of dots on the upward face of the die. Is it appropriate that the same number appears more than once? Why? What is the outcome of the fourth roll?
(b) If we simulate more rolls of the die. do you expect to get the same sequence of outcomes? Why or why not?
