Concept explainers
Dice are different (ExH). In Mindscape 14 you probably used ideas similar to those in the analogous text example on coin tosses. Yet how are the two experi ments different? What qualities might you look for (or look for the absence of) in a sequence of alleged random die tosses that would not apply in the case of coin tosses? In particular, can you tell which of the sequences below was generated by rolling an actual die and which was created by a person writing down what they think of as random digits (before reading this text)?

- Answer the following questions. 3. When given two separate events, how do we know whether to apply the Addition Principle or the Multiplication Principle when calculating possible outcomes? What conjunctions may help to determine which operations to use?arrow_forwardThe following problem submitted by Daniel Hahn of Blairstown, Iowa, appeared in the Ask Marilyn column of Parade magazine. Source: Parade magazine. You discover two booths at a carnival. Each is tended by an honest man with a pair of covered coin shakers. In each shaker is a single coin, and you are allowed to bet upon the chance that both coins in that booths shakers are heads after the man in the booth shakes them, does an inspection, and can tell you that at least one of the shakers contains a head. The difference is that the man in the first booth always looks inside both of his shakers, whereas the man in the second booth looks inside only one of the shakers. Where will you stand the best chance?arrow_forward
