Setup: 3 different people take turns rolling dice. They all get doubles WITHIN 3 ROLLS. NOT IN A ROW. Each person waits their turn to roll. On each persons turn, they each roll doubles WITHIN 3 ROLLS.


GIVEN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

- There is a 25% chance that the dice are loaded so that:  Each die is loaded so that 6 comes up half the time P(6) = .5 for each die. The other numbers (1-5) are equally likely to show up. ( P(1) = P(2) = P(3) = P(4) = P(5) = .1)

- Otherwise (75 % chance): The dice are normal, fair, and un-weighted.

QUESTION : WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY THAT THEY ARE USING THE LOADED DICE? (All dice are the same for all experiments. They either use the loaded OR the fair dice for all rolls).

Again, they each TAKE TURNS to roll a pair of dice up to 3 times. They each get doubles WITHIN 3 TURNS. NOT IN A ROW. **What is the probability that they are using the loaded dice?**

**Please show your work and note the names of any theorems used**

Answer #1

*Probability of getting doubles once on a fair dice = 6/36 = 1/6 (We got 6/36 because out of 3 combinations of numbers only 6 pairs make double. That are 1,1 2,2 3,3 ...6,6)

Probability of getting doubles 2 times(not in a row) within 3 rolls= P = (6/36)*(30/36)*(6/36) = 5/216 = 0.0232

*Probability of getting doubles in a loaded dice = probability of getting (1,1)+probability og getting (2,2)+..........+probability of getting(6,6) = PL = 0.1*0.1+0.1*0.1+0.1*0.1+0.1*0.1+0.1*0.1+0.5*0.5 = 0.3

Probability of getting doubles 2 times(not in a row) within 3 rolls(with loaded dice) = 0.3*(1-0.3))*0.3 = 0.063

Therefore probability that it is loaded dice = = 0.063/(0.063+0.0232) = 0.731

Players A and B take turns at rolling two dice, starting with A. The first person to get a sum of at least 9 on a roll of the two dice wins the game. Find the probability that A will win the game if: (a) the game is just about to begin (b) 8, 4, 3, 7 and 7 have already been rolled (c) a draw is to be declared in the event of no-one winning within 6 rolls.

In Yahtzee, 5 standard dice are rolled up to three times on a given turn. A player can choose to save anywhere from 0 - 5 of the dice between rolls 1 and 2 and between rolls 2 and 3, meaning that the player can set aside certain dice before rolling the remaining dice if they choose to do so. Suppose that a given player does not take advantage of saving die rolls and instead rolls all 5 dice each...

In the game Monopoly, a player rolls two dice on his or her turn. To make the discussion easier, let’s assume one die is red and the other is blue. After rolling the dice, the player adds the spots on the red and blue dice, and moves that many squares. There are 40 squares that form a square along the sides of the board. Let X denote the spots on the red die and Y the spots on the blue...

Dice Rolling) Write an application to simulate the rolling of two dice. The application should use an object of class Random once to roll the first die and again to roll the second die. The sum of the two values should then be calculated. Each die can show an integer value from 1 to 6, so the sum of the values will vary from 2 to 12, with 7 being the most frequent sum and 2 and 12 being the...

Bunco is a group dice game that requires no skill. The objective of the game is to accumulate points by rolling certain combinations. The game is played with three dice, but we will consider a simpler version involving only two dice. How do you play two dice Bunco? There are six rounds, one for each of the possible outcomes in a die, namely the numbers one through six. Going clockwise, players take turns rolling two dice trying to score points....

The game requires $5 to play, once the player is admitted, he or she has the opportunity to take a chance with luck and pick from the bag. If the player receives a M&M, the player loses. If the player wins a Reese’s Pieces candy, the player wins. If the player wins they may roll a dice for a second turn, if the die rolls on a even number, they may pick from the bag once again with no extra...

You are coding a simple game called Pig. Players take turns rolling a die. The die determines how many points they get. You may get points each turn your roll (turn points), you also have points for the entire game (grand points). The first player with 100 grand points is the winner. The rules are as follows: Each turn, the active player faces a decision (roll or hold): Roll the die. If it’s is a: 1: You lose your turn,...
