Count as losses the ones where the sum is 7. Repeat until all are wins or losses.

3. 7 or 11 Based on your data – what is the relative frequency of rolling a sum of 7? What is the relative frequency of rolling a sum of 11? Which of these sums appears more likely to occur?

4. 2,3, or 12 What is the relative frequency of rolling a 2? What is the relative frequency of rolling a 3? What is the relative frequency of rolling a 12? Based on your results which of these seems more likely to occur?

7. Vocab Random variable Discrete random variable – probability distribution lists the values and their probabilities Probability distribution – looks different for discrete and continuous variables Probability histogram – can only be used with discrete variables Continuous random variable – probability distribution is described by a density curve. The probability of any event is the area under the density curve and above the values of X that make up the event.

12. Normal distributions are probability distributions. An opinion poll asks an SRS of 1500 American adults what they consider to be the most serious problem facing our schools. 30% say “drugs”. What is the probability that the poll result differs from the truth about the population by more than 2 % points?

13. The probability that the poll result differs from the truth by more than 2% points is approx. 9%.
