IMGD 2905 - Data Analysis for Game Development

Breakout 5 - Probability Distributions for Dice Rolls

(7 minutes)

Introduction

• As needed ... Introduce yourselves!

• Icebreaker: What is the worst game you have spent a lot of time on?

Groupwork

For each question:

1. Explore the answer yourself
2. Discuss your answer with your partner(s)
3. Write down your joint answer(s)

You will email your answers to the professor. Make sure to include all names on the email.

Probability Distributions

All questions refer to 6-sided dice, denoted a d6.

Remember, a probability distribution shows possible outcomes on the x-axis and probability of each outcome happening on the y-axis.
