Celebrate the International Year of Statistics

dice

Dice are used in many games of chance as a way of picking a random number. If you have fair dice the chance of getting a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 is equally likely.

Celebrate the International Year of Statistics by helping us to determine an experimental frequency distribution curve for 2 dice.

To do
Take any two dice of the same size, shake and roll them. Add the number of pips and repeat nine times. E-mail your result

Frequency graph The theoretical frequency distribution of the sum of the pips of 2 dice is shown in the graph below.
