1. Analyzing Games of Chance Investigation 5 – How Likely Is It?
5.1 Roller Derby
In a game of Roller Derby two teams compete. Each team needs a game board with columns numbered 1-12, a pair of number cubes, and 12 markers.
RULES:
*Each team places it’s 12 markers into the columns any
way it chooses.
*Each team rolls a number cube. The team with the highest roll goes first.
*Teams take turns rolling the two number cubes and removing a marker from the column with the same number as the total shown on the cubes. If the column is empty no markers are removed.
*First team to remove all markers (clear the board) wins!

2. Analyzing Games of Chance Investigation 5 – How Likely Is It?
What is a good strategy for placing your markers on the board? (answer this after playing a full game two times)
Problem 5.1 Follow Up:
Find a systematic way to list all possible outcomes of the two number cubes and the sums for these outcomes. Look at this carefully before answering b-c.
What sums are possible when you roll two cubes?
Which sum/sums occur most often?
How many ways can you get sum = 6? Sum = 2?
Are all sums equally likely?
