Fall Semester 2002

Here are some problems you should solve for the make-up:

1. You throw 10 coins.
   What's the chance of getting between 5 and 7 heads?

2. You throw 6 dice.
   What's the chance of getting 18 as the sum of the faces on the dice?

3. You throw 10 coins.
   What's the chance of getting exactly 8 heads?

4. You throw 6 dice.
   What's the chance of getting between 8 and 10 as the sum of the faces?

In all these instances you need to

• Obtain a number (your best estimate) and report it.

• Turn in a printed screen shot with your comments on the back.

You will be judged on both accuracy of estimate and clarity of your (brief) report.
