2. What is the probability that when you role 2 dice, the sum is 7?
One approach is to run an experiment rolling dice many times and count how frequently a sum of 7 occurs relative to the total number of times the dice were rolled.

3. Simulation
Running an experiment like this can’t tell you exactly what the probability is, but
as the number of trials increase, the relative frequency gets closer to the probability.
A computer simulation makes it easy to do a large number of trials quickly.
