This part is an exercise in
constructing a box model. Basically, (1) I would like you to sketch a box for
the game of "craps". I will get you started by giving you the numbers
that go on the "tickets":
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
And you need to write down the
proportion or percentage or how many of each kind there are.
Then answer the following:
(2) Should you replace the tickets
after each draw? If yes, explain why. If no, explain why not.
(3) Suppose you are going to roll the die (or draw from the box) 72 times. Calculate the sum of the 72 rolls (or draws). Then calculate the average. Write these numbers down and turn in the whole assignment.
