Going by the rules of the game to pick a random card and then multiply it by a roll of a number cube, we can find that:
- The probability a person wins a game is 3/8 or 37.5%.
- For a participant to win 25% of the time, they needs to get 32 or higher.
- The probability of a score of 36 or higher in 4 consecutive attempts is 1/1,1296.
- Teacher should tell people that just as the lower numbers could be picked, the products that are 32 or higher can be picked as well.
What sample space represents the data?
If the die is rolled, it will land on a number between 1 and 6 while there are only four cards that can be picked.
The sample space is:
Dice Card Product
1 5 5
1 6 6
1 7 7
1 8 8
2 5 10
2 6 12
2 7 14
2 8 16
3 5 15
3 6 18
3 7 21
3 8 24
4 5 20
4 6 24
4 7 28
4 8 32
5 5 25
5 6 30
5 7 35
5 8 40
6 5 30
6 6 36
6 7 42
6 8 48
Based on the products, we can come up with the following frequency table:
Frequency table
Product Frequency
5 1
6 1
7 1
8 1
10 1
12 1
14 1
16 1
15 1
18 1
21 1
24 2
20 1
28 1
30 2
32 1
25 1
35 1
40 1
36 1
42 1
48 1
Total 24
The frequency table shows that to get 28 or more, a person will have a relative frequency of:
= 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 9
Probability is:
= 9 / 24
= 3/8
= 37.5%
How can a person win only 25% of the time?
The number of products required to win 25% of the time is:
= 25% x 24
= 6
To find the winning number, count down from the highest product 6 times to get 32.
What is the probability that a player wins a large prize?
The probability of getting 36 or higher is:
= ∑(Probabability of picking 36 and above numbers)
= 1 / 24 + 1/24 + 1/24 + 1/24
= 1 / 6
The probability of repeating this 4 consecutive times is:
= 1 / 6 x 1 / 6 x 1/ 6 x 1 / 6
= 1 / 1,296
= 0.0007716
