Now lets try the median. the median is the middle number so put the numbers from smallest to biggest and the one in the middle is the median, the median.

Homework

 Two Dice Game I
For each dice game below (Game A and Game B) you are to:
·        decide if each game is fair or not and explain your answer (parts a) and b));
·        play Game A and Game B in pairs, but individually record and explain your results (parts c) and d)).
Game A:         Throw the two dice and add the top two numbers together.
·        Player 1 wins when the result is an odd number.
·        Player 2 wins when the result is an even number.

Sum = 6

a)         i)          Using the table below, who is more likely to win this game?  (Circle one)
                        (A)   Player 1     (B)   Player 2     (C)   Both players are equally likely.
            ii)         Explain your answer.
                       
 Player 2 would win because there are more even numbers on the table than there are odd numbers. There are  3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 which are odd numbers and then there are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 which are even. So there is a more of a chance rolling even numbers.

            ii)         Explain your answer.
                        Both players are equally likely to win because there is a fifty fifty chance of getting an odd or an even number when multiplying the top two numbers.

·      Pair up with someone else who has finished a) and b).
·      Get two dice and complete parts c) and d).

c)         i)          Play Game A 50 times and record your results in the table below.

Player 1 winsIIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII IO.26
Player 2 winsIIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIIO.24

            ii)         Do your results suggest that Game A is fair?   Yes   /   No   (Circle one)
                        Explain your answer.
                    Yes because player 1 had 26 and player 2 had 24 which means both of the           players  almost got 25 each which is half of fifty. 

d)         i)          Play Game B 50 times and record your results in the table below.

Tally
Frequency
Player 1 wins IIIII IIIII IIIO.13
Player 2 wins IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII IIO.37

            ii)         Do your results suggest that Game B is fair?   Yes   /   No   (Circle one)
                        Explain your answer.
                        Game b is not fair because player 2 got more wins than player 1. Player 2 got 37 , player 1 got 13 so this proves that game b is not fair.

When the wind blows
the quiet things speak.
Some whisper, some clang,
Some creak.

Grasses swish.
Treetops sigh.
