Quiz 5.1A 1. (A) If Two Dice Were Rolled Many, Many Times, The Proportion of Rolls That Resulted in The Sum

1) The probability of rolling a sum of 7 with two dice is approximately 1/6. However, the probability in the short run is unpredictable. 2) The probability that the next car is a Ford does not change based on previous cars and only in the long run will the number of Fords approach the expected probability. 3) 20 random 3-digit numbers were generated without repeats and their sums calculated. The probability of the sum being 18 or more was estimated as 2/10 = 0.20 based on the results.

Quiz 5.1A 1.

(a) If two dice were rolled many, many times, the proportion of rolls that resulted in the sum on the dice equaling 7 would be about one sixth. (b) No. While we can predict the proportion of 7s rolled in the long run, the proportion of 7s rolled in the short run is unpredictable. 2. Assuming that the brand of each car is independent of other cars, the probability that the next car is a Ford does not change, regardless of what brands preceded it. Only in the very long run can we be sure that the number of Fords will approach whatever the expected probability is. 3. Assign digits 0 through 9 on the table to correspond to the numbers on the tags. Choose digits from the table until 3 digits without repeats are chosen. Add the three digits and determine if the sum is 18 or more. Do this 20 times and calculate the proportion of times that the sum is 18 or more. Starting at the beginning of the table provided, the 20 sums are: 12, 18, 13, 11, 12, 14, 8, 10, 16, 21. Estimate of probability is 2/10 = .20.
