2 Our new challenge AQQ287 about throwing 3 dice
Source: upload.wikimedia.org/.../640px-160327_White_dice_09.jpg
The game consists to throw 3 dice and observe the sum S of the 3 top faces. We note P(S) the probability to obtain a sum S.
Questions:
1. For which value of S, the probability P(S) is maximum?
(Example: for 2 dice, S=7 occurs 6 times giving P(7)=0.167 which is the maximum we can get)
2. Same question as above but in a game with n number of dice.
Good luck and try to be among the first ones!
Also, please forward those quizzes to friends or colleagues who might be interested on such brainstorming!
