Probability Distributions for Dice Rolls

Introductions

Introduce yourselves!

Icebreaker: What game's sequel did you find the most disappointing?

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 turn in your group's answers via the link at the end of this page.

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.

1. Describe the probability distribution of values for rolling 1 d6.

2. Describe the probability distribution of total values for rolling 2 d6.

3. Describe the probability distribution of total values for rolling 3 d6.

Feel free to explore rolling more d6 (e.g., 6) as you have time.
